The Humboldt Broncos continued their winning ways last week.
The Broncos took on the Nipawin Hawks on November 16 for the second game in a row, once again on home ice at the Elgar Petersen Arena.
Scoring was light in this game, and Humboldt skated away with an uncontested victory.
The Broncos got their first point of the night at 4:19 of the first period, thanks to Robbie Ciolfi, assisted by Adam Antkowiak and Andrew Johnston.
Despite a couple of power plays in the first, the Broncos were unable to add to their tally in that frame. But neither did Humboldt goaltender Deven Dubyk let any of the Hawks' five shots into his net.
In the second, it was Bronco Joey Davies, assisted by Ryan Marshall and Matt Glowa, who added Humboldt's second goal at 6:01.
The Broncos strengthened their lead in the third with a point, this time by Neil Landry, assisted by Davies and Glowa, at 13:10.
With Nipawin goal-less through the three periods, the Broncos won 3-0.
Humboldt outshot the Hawks, but not by much (27-22), so it was defensive play, including that of Dubyk, that kept the puck out of Humboldt's net. Dubyk was named the first star of the game, with Andrew Johnston and Neil Landry of the Broncos picking up second and third star honours.
Unlike scoring, penalties were plentiful in the game - the Hawks got 10; the Broncos, nine, some of them major.
Hawk Stuart Holland got a game misconduct along with a two-minute penalty for checking from behind at 8:13 of the second, also the time a fight broke out between Hawk Scott Bollefer and Bronco Antkowiak. Both fighters got five minutes for fighting, and Antkowiak got an additional two minutes for instigating, and a 10-minute misconduct.
Just two minutes later, another fight broke out between Bronco Matt Glowa and Hawk Jeff Datoff. Both got five for fighting at 10:39.
A third fight rounded out the second period, this time between Chase Wharton of the Broncos and Tad Kozun of the Hawks. Again, both got five minutes for fighting.
Wrapping up the penalties was another serious penalty - Kozun got a game misconduct and two minutes for checking from behind.
Not a single penalty was handed out in the third period.
The Broncos played away in Yorkton on November 18 and again at home on November 20 against the Melfort Mustangs.
