The U18AAA Lloydminster Lancers dropped a pair of games following the holiday break.
The first game at home on Jan. 4 saw the Lancers welcome the Edmonton Jr. Oilers Orange to the Centennial Civic Centre.
The Lancers dropped their last two games against the Jr. Oilers Orange and were looking to bounce back. Cole Hines scored midway through the first for the Lancers putting them up 1-0 heading into the second.
The second period would see the Oilers shooters come alive putting two goals away in the second. They held onto their now 2-1 lead through the third and took the win over the Lancers.
The Lancers headed to St. Albert to take on the Raiders at the Jarome Iginla Arena in St. Albert.
The Jan. 5 game kicked off with an early Raiders goal followed by another late in the first. The Lancers managed to score just before the first period ended bringing the game to 2-1 Raiders.
The Raiders scored early in the second and then again at the 12 minute mark. The Lancers answered with a pair of goals a few minutes later but with just one second left the Raiders put away another bringing their lead to 5-3.
Two goals early in the third extended the Raiders lead 7-3. The Lancers scored seconds later before the Raiders answered back. It wouldn't be long before the Lancers found the back of the net bringing the score to 8-5 where the Raiders would eventually take the home ice win.
The Lancers host the raiders at the Civic Centre Jan 11.
