A corner turned for the Generals as they win again
Game recaps
The Generals started this
past weekend by officially
announcing their on ice
leadership group.
Charlie Yelkin has been
named the team's first ever
Captain.
He is a 20 -year-old who
hails from Eagle, Nebraska
and is no stranger to coach
T.J. Runhart. Yelkin started
the season last year with the
London Lakers, where
Coach Runhart was an assis-
tant coach.
"I coached Charlie last
season in London and I
knew he was a real character
guy who could help this
team turn around." said
Coach Runhart.
Charlie joined the Gener-
als October 20, around the
same time the team
recorded their first ever
win.
"It was in that game we
noticed Yelks had what it
takes to help us push these
young men in the right
direction" Coach Runhart
added. Charlie has racked
up five points, one goal
and four assists in nine
games since joining the
Generals.
The team has also named
the Aassistant captains Cor-
bin Paypompee of Shoal
Lake, Avery Albert of Arvada,
Colorado and Seaforth's
hometown son Scott
Chisholm.
"These three bring a lot of
leadership in different ways
to our team. Avery is very
vocal in the room and on
the ice." Coach Runhart
mentioned. The Arvada Col-
orado native is really enjoy-
ing a break out season on
the back end with the Gen-
erals, his 24 points, nine
goals and 15 assists leaves
him alone on top of the
Generals scoring leader
board.
Corbin Paypompee has
been entertaining to watch
this season said Runhart,
his 10 points, seven goals
and three assists, has him
ranked third in team
scoring.
"Corbs has missed some
game time to injury this sea-
son, but he has battled hard
and does everything that's
asked of him," stated Run -
hart in a recent interview.
Scott Chisholm is the
youngest of the group. The
17 -year-old local attends
CHSS and has been dedi-
cated to the Generals since
day one.
"Chizzy is one of the
first ones to the rink and
one of the last to leave
night in and night out"
Coach Runhart men-
tioned. Being a local kid
he has helped out a lot of
his teammates off the ice
as well. Chisholm has 14
points, seven goals, seven
assists in 19 games this
season.
"We have no issue play-
ing Junior in any role or
situation that's thrown at
us, he takes his lumps and
usually lets it roll of him
with a smile." Coach Run -
hart had to say regarding
Chisholm's play this
season.
The Generals hit the ice
on the road last Saturday
night in Angus to take on
the Essa Stallions. A goal
by Gens Captain Charlie
Yelkin 57 seconds into the
game was the statement
the Generals wanted to
make. A goal by Brandon
Cain, five and a half min-
utes later put the good
guys up by two, the Stal-
lions made it 2-1 a minute
later. The second period
witnessed the Generals
open the scoring even
more, with Damon Theara
and Skylar Paishk scoring
goals three minutes apart,
the Generals then opened
their lead to 4-1. The Stal-
lions launched the third
period with a quick goal.
The Generals continued to
execute their game plan
and Jeremy Ledoux slide
home the insurance
marker with two minutes
and 12 seconds left in
third. Ian Roberston (Cal-
gary, Alberta) got his first
win of the season in front
of his parents who were
visiting for the weekend.
"Having them there for
my first win was a really
special moment for me. I
appreciate the Coaching
Staff giving me the start
tonight while my parents
were here to see me play.
This will be something I
carry with me for years to
come," Roberston had to say
on the ride home.
They came with a new
game plan; a new focus and
they came to play for a whole
60 minutes.
"That's something we
have been lacking this year,
now that we have a roster
starting to take shape its
keeping the guys accounta-
ble and were starting to see
way better results. I'm
proud of the boys. They
played very well and they
deserved those two points."
Coach Runhart said about
the impressive win.
Less then 24 hours after
picking up their second win
of the season, the Generals
were home to take on the
visiting Essa Stallions.
The Generals jumped
out to a lead thanks to a
power play goal by Avery
Albert. The Stallions
answered the call with a
if it's local, it's her,.

marker of their own just
26 seconds later. Scott
Chisholm gave the Gener-
als a 2-1 lead on a fancy
move in tight on the
goalie. The Stallions
pulled even once again in
the seesaw battle. About
30 seconds later, Matt
Curgainis gave the edge
back to the Generals. The
second period dragged on
with the hometown boys
leading until Stephan
Eccles scored to tie it up
3-3. With one minute left
in the second period, the
Generals newcomer Tom
Moneyas banged home a
power play goal in the
blue paint to give the Gen-
erals a 4-3 lead heading
into the third period.
However just a minute
and 45 seconds into the
third, the visiting Stallions
answered the bell and 10
minutes and 33 seconds
later the Stallions took
their first lead of the
game. Penalty trouble had
the Generals on a 5 on 3
power play with four min-
utes to go in the game
trailing by one goal, Gen-
erals Coaching Staff
pulled the Goalie to give
them a 6 on 3. It paid off
when assistant captain,
Avery Albert ripped home
the tying marker with just
1:44 left on the clock.
Time remaining in the
third solved nothing, and
the teams needed extra
time to finish the
competition.
1:05 into the 3 on 3 over-
time was all that was needed
to give the Generals their
second win in the weekend.
Corbin Paypompee
undressed the Stallions
defender before he pro-
cessed to dangle around the
Stallions netminder and fin-
ished it off with a nifty back-
hand shot into the open
cage. Generals 16 -year-old
,Goalie Spencer Redmond
recorded his second win of
the year facing 47 shots.
"I'm really pleased we
were able to play 120 min-
utes of hockey this weekend.
These boys should be proud
of this, we've been busting
our butts for two weeks to
start showing what were
about, and I'm happy to see
the results showing up on
the scoreboard. Our power
play was big for us this week-
end, we got the goaltending
we needed and the responsi-
bility of taking care of our
zone first were key points
this weekend. Coach Run -
hart had to say on this week-
end's recap.
The Generals expect to
keep it up next weekend
when the visiting Grey High-
land Hawks come to town
for a 4:30 p.m. match up
