SEAC Tigers settle for tie with Okotoks in home opener
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It was a special home opener for the SEAC Bantam AAA Tigers on Saturday night, breaking in their new stomping grounds at the Hockey Hounds Recreation Centre.
Facing the Okotoks AAA Oilers, it was the first regular season game at Hockey Hounds for the Tigers since moving from the old Medicine Hat Arena.
Okotoks took a 1-0 lead early in the first period, with blueliner Dru Krebs putting one past SEAC netminder Marek Andres just 1:14 into the game.
That visiting lead was extended to 2-0 a few minutes later, as Adam Kirkpatrick got in on the action shorthanded to keep the momentum on Okotoks’ side.
