Struggling Medicine Hat Tigers aim for back-to-back wins at home this weekend

Oct 11, 2024 | 12:00 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers are headed into a weekend of back-to-back home games that could bring them back to an even win-loss ratio if they are able to beat two strong visiting squads.

The Tigers will try rebounding from what has been a weak start to the season for what was the No. 1 ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League.

Head Coach Willie Desjardins acknowledged it will be “a really tough weekend” in an interview with Wild 94.5 radio’s Will Bryant.

The Tigers will first play the Brandon Wheat Kings on Friday evening.

The Wheat Kings are ranked second in the East Division and have won four of their six regular season games so far.

“Brandon’s got really good goaltending, they do some good things offensively,” Desjardins said.

“They’ve got a good team. They play hard, they’ve got really good structure.”

The Tigers will then on Saturday play the Vancouver Giants, who are hot off a 5-2 win against the very Red Deer Rebels the Tigers struggled to beat.

Desjardins said the Giants “have a really good power play” the Tigers will watch out for.

Tune into both games live on Wild 94.5 radio with commentary from Will Bryant and Lance Doll. Tickets can be purchased in-person at the box office or at the Medicine Hat Tigers website.
