Rockers Home Opener Spoiled by Rival Prowlers

The Rockers’ home opener was spoiled by the rival Prowlers by a final score of 5-2.

Avery Smith and Ben Brockway set the tone with a tilt off the opening draw. 2 more fights would take place before 10 seconds of game time had even elapsed.

The Rockers got on the board first; Drew Welsch’s 2^nd of the season put the Rockers ahead 1-0 just over 7 minutes into the first period.

The Prowlers responded almost 5 minutes later. Reggie Millette scored his first of two goals on the night to even it up.

Late in the period, it was the Rockers again – TJ Sneath putting the Rockers up 2-1 going into the break.

The middle period was almost fully controlled by the opposition. Goals from Alexander Gomez, Austin Fetterly, and Troy Button gave the Prowlers a 4-2 lead headed into the last frame.

Millette’s second goal came early in the third period, where the Prowlers closed it out with a 5-2 final.

Despite the loss, Yack Arena was packed for the Rockers home opener. The Rockers will go on the road next week for a pair of games against the Indiana Sentinels on Halloween Weekend.
