Malachai North Peigan with team President Barb Anderson, his Grandmother Faye and Aunt Renee North Peigan.
Malachai North Peigan played his 100th regular season game on Saturday, he joins Taylor Haggerty, Lucas Desjarlais and Gaege Johnson in this year’s Ghostrider 100 game club. To play 100 games you have to be good enough to play as a 20 year old, so it’s unusual to get four players in the same year joining the club. The Ghostrider Board thank’s these players for their loyalty to our team and City.
On Instagram the KIJHL had a fan favourite logo vote and the Ghostrider Logo won…can’t the world just go back to Twitter
Well here we go, after losing a home and home with Kimberley and 5-4 in Castlegar the Ghostriders got back on track with a 3-2 OT win in Golden and a 6-1 win at home against Creston.

We asked Coach Chad Scharff about the two wins and what he and Dante Raposo accomplished late on deadline day.
Chad Scharff “Good weekend for our group. We didn’t love our game last night [In Golden] but it’s hard to win in this league so we are happy we came away with two points. Tonight was a complete game for us. We did a lot of things right”.
Scharff on the new players “We feel like we have a lot of depth in our lineup and now adding 3 right handed mobile D-men it gives us different looks. We are excited to get the entire group here this week and get to work. Looking forward to the final stretch”
Ok… so regarding the Golden game Friday where the Riders barely eked out a 3-2 OT win.. the next night Golden went into Revelstoke, they have 50 points and are tied for first overall in the KIJHL, and Golden won 5-1… And the pesky Castlegar Rebels, well they took the first place BV Nite Hawks into overtime but lost 1-0 … Scharff is right “It’s hard to win in this league”
Even the games the standings say you should win.
I think Golden makes the PO’s this year
In Through the Out Door LZ 1979
In…D men: Andrew Morris and Easton Zenko from Chase (Zenko played part of last season in Fernie) also Garrett Buchanan from Kamloops and Forwards: Ethan Buhler from Revelstoke via Castlegar and Ben Henshall from Kelowna.
Out… Eric Chenxi Jiang to Castlegar, Govind Dhillon to Golden and Dylan Puk to Jr B in Alberta.

I like watching this guy skate
Coden Fournier’s second goal of the game on the power play in overtime was the game winner. Fernie’s Cooper Anderson and Golden’s Landon Garbitt were in net.
PP FGR 1-7 GR 1-5
Creston didn’t play Friday because the hi-way was closed, they were well rested. Anyway, it was just what the Rider Coaches were hoping for, not only a win but all the goals were from their so called secondary scorers, not the usual suspects. Liam Breakenridge with two and Garrett Buchanan with his first goal Keegan Fellows (SH), Malachai North Peigan (on his 100th birthday) and Colby Driebergen scored the goals and Nick Kunyk had the win in net…in a somewhat chippy affair.
And Finally, and not a moment to soon, a Sesame Street Drop Out’s History Lesson… Two Spokane ads were sent to me by colleague and Spokane Media guy Frank Guill. The year was 1971, I was working in Toronto, beer was 10 cents a glass, you had to drink it in the “Men’s Room” we still had the Expos and Canada hadn’t even beaten the Russians yet. Oh and we used to be called the Fernie Sabers
