Apologies for not getting this out sooner. For the 2nd night in a row, our Nitehawks were victorious and put another 2 points between us and Nelson.
This time, we were dramatically outplayed, outshot, and outscored in the first period. Spokane scored twice on 17 shots to lead 2-0 after 20. It must have been one helluva locker room speech because the leagues most potent power play brutalized the Braves in the second period with 3 ppg's and another at even strength. BV outshot Spokane 28-6 in that period and never looked back leading 4-2 after 40. Period 3 was a more even battle with BV adding 3 more goals(1 on the pp), and Spokane netting 2 of their own. Shots were close at 17-12 BV for a game total 53-35 in favor of the Hawks.
Craig Marten and Dallas Calvin each potted 2 goals as Ryan Edwards, Mason Spear, and Derek Lashuk added singles while 8 others notched up points as well. BV's power play went 4 for 7 on the night for 57.1% which is testament why NOT to take penalties against this team.
Game Stars:
BV - Dallas Calvin (2G)
BV - Craig Martin (2G)
BV - Chris Derochie (2A)
Next game for BV is on Friday, Nov. 4 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena to take on the Creston Valley Thunder Cats and then off to Castlegar the following night Nov. 5 before a short rest and then back home on Nov. 10 to host Grand Forks.

Game Day - Hawks/Braves
Its game 2 of back-to-back games for BV. This afternoon they travel to Spokane to take on the Braves in the Eagles Ice-A-Rena in a 2PM start.
The Nitehawks have won all 3 of the previous meetings with the most recent being last sunday here at home where they neatly dispatched the Braves 7-2 on a 4 point effort by Craig Martin. Look for that trend to continue this game as well.
Beaver Valley can put some distance between them and Nelson with a win this afternoon and pull even closer to Kamloops in the overall standings.
Other KIJHL games today: Fernie @ Sicamous, Penticton @ Chase, both also with the 2PM start. North OK is in Kamloops @ 5PM and Kelowna hosts Princeton @ 7PM.

Postgame: Leafs - 2 Hawks - 3
WHAT A GAME!!
Is there really anything else to say?? Well, ok maybe...
It was a close game. Fast at times, slow at times. Overall, it was a very VERY good game. Not much scoring, but what did go in was deserved. Craig Martin started it off on a mini-break up the middle and showed incredible patience waiting for the goalie(Walton) to make the first move then neatly tucked it behind him. Colton Schell scored for Nelson to open the 2nd period and tie it at 1. Martin got his 2nd of the game at the mid point of the game on a tipped point shot that I could have sworn came from Lashuk but was given to Edwards. Keanan Patershuk scored late in the 3rd on a beautiful cross-ice pass from Spear to put BV up 3-1 with 3:19 remaining but Leaf star patrick Martens pulled them back to within 1 just :36 seconds later on the power play. Several key saves late by Vlanich and the Nitehawks hung on to to take it 3-2.
This win vaults BV into 1st place in the division while still retaining their 3 games in hand over now 2nd place Nelson, and only 4 pts behind league leading Kamloops.
The "Golden Line" of Martin, Edwards, Derochie notched up 5 points combined while holding Nelson's Martens to just the 1 goal. Edwards and Martin are tied atop the KIJHL with 36 pts after 16 games played.
Game Stars:
BV - Mike Vlanich - key saves at a crucial time of the game
BV - Craig Martin - 2G and an offensive presence thruout
NL - Andrew Walton - If it wasnt for him, it would have been worse
Next game for the Nitehawks is tomorrow night in Spokane to take on the Braves. Next HOME game is November 10 as we play host to hapless Grand Forks. Game time then is 7:00pm.

Game Day - Leafs/Hawks
Its the rubber match between the BV Nitehawks and the Nelson Leafs. BV took the first game 5-4 with a 5 goal comeback while Nelson took the second game 5-3 without much difficulty. Both games were in the NDCC Arena in Nelson, but now we switch to our home turf where we are 6-1 this season!!
Nelson is trying to come off a disappointing loss to Creston last night while BV is riding high after a dominant victory over Grand Forks.
Like expected, the line of Edwards-Martin-Derochie caught fire 2 nights ago and rattled off a combined 11 points. But it wasnt just them, 10 others got on the board as well so it doesnt matter which line is out there, they will be dangerous.
So far, no discipline has come from the mid 3rd period issues last game in GF, but that still remains to be seen.
Game time is 7:30 tonight at the Beaver Valley Arena. Drop by, say HI! but dont forget to cheer on our Beaver Valley Nitehawks!!!

Postgame: Hawks - 10 Bruins - 4
Well it was a battle, both on the ice and trying to get these updates to you. It was a penalty ridden game and the third period saw many misconducts for both teams, thankfully BEFORE the last 10 mins!
Bruins opened the scoring less than 2 mins in on a goal by Jacob Bergeron but it was a short-lived lead as :28 seconds later Chris Derochie tied it up. Paul Herringer, who assisted on the first GF goal, put the Bruins back into the lead for the second time at the 8 minute mark. Thats when the roof started melting in the GF Arena as the Nitehawks went on a 5 goal spree that took them into the 3rd up 6-2. BV scored 4 more in the 3rd to the Bruins 2 and left the arena a smoldering pile of rubble(figuratively of course).
Scoring was spread out and if you stepped on the ice, you got a point as 8 Nitehawks had a multi-point game including: Edwards (4A), Martin (2G, 2A), Calvin (4A), Derochie (1G, 2A), Collins (2A), Schapansky (2G), Flanagan (2G), McKinnon (1G, 1A). Stang, Dixon, Niminiken, Spear, Patershuk all pitched in for single points as well.
PP didnt prove to be a factor in this game although they did connect twice on 5 attempts. Boxscore shows them as 2 for 15 but i believe that will be changed as they never took into account coincidental penalties dont count as a PP.
Game stars:
BV - Ryan Edwards - 4 assists
GF - Jacob Bergeron - 1 goal, 3 assists
GF - Paul Herringer - 1 goal, 3 assists
With the win, the Nitehawks(12-3-0-0 24pts) pull to within 1 point of division leading Nelson(12-4-0-1 25pts) but still retain 2 games in hand. Nelson plays Columbia Valley tomorrow eve before visiting us here in Fruitvale Saturday Oct 29 at 7:30PM.
In the other game tonight, Kimberley stunned the Rebels with a late PP goal by Hubscher to force overtime. Strachan got the winner for the Dynamiters only 1:04 into OT to sour Scott Morisseau' first game with the Rebels.

Gameday: NiteHawks/Border Bruins
After a 4 day rest, the Hawks storm into Grand Forks this evening with a (hopefully) well rested and repaired team. Tonight marks the return of Bryan Hinchcliffe who was issued a match penalty on Oct 8 in the the final minute of a forgettable game against Osoyoos and was subsequently slapped with a 6-game suspension.
This will be the 4th meeting of the season between these two division rivals. BV has won all 3 of the previous games outscoring GF 30-5 along the way. So far, GF has yet to record its first victory and I dont foresee it happening tonight. Look for the 19-20-21 line to get re-ignited and burn down the barn in Grand Forks although they will be joined by the likes of Johnson and Niminiken who were stellar in last weekends game against Summerland.
Again, teams are playing with fire so far this season if they play undisciplined against BV. After going 2 for 5 (40%) against the Steam, BV is now up to 28.38% overall on the powerplay which still leads the league by a good margin although Osoyoos is catching up. Combine that with GF having the worst PK in the league and its a for-gone conclusion that it would be best for them to steer clear of the bin.
Game time tonight is 7:30pm at the Grand Forks Arena. The only other game played tonight is Castlegar Rebels visiting Kimberley.
SIDE NOTE: If you missed this, here is an opportunity to catch up..... Hawks Celebrate Community Living Month

Postgame: Braves - 2 Hawks - 7
Well it was a game that I couldnt make, so I will try and break it down the best I can using just the stat-sheet.
It was Beaver Valley early with Edwards popping one in just past the 3 minute mark from Derochie and Fraser. Lucchini and another from Edwards rounded out the 1st period scoring with the only 2 penalties going to BV. It was once again all BV in the 2nd with 2 more goals by McKinnon and Martin to put a strangle hold on the game. Spokane finally solved Vlanich with 5:27 left in the 2nd to ruin the donut bid. The 3rd started much like the 2nd did with 2 more goals by BV before the 9 minute mark and it stayed that way until Spokane got a ppg late to finalize the nights scoring.
Shots on goal were relatively even with BV having the edge 34-30. Spokane had the only ppg and went 1-7 while BV only had 2 chances but didnt manage to connect.
Stars of the game:
Jake Lucchini
Brantley Schapansky
Craig Martin
Around the KIJHL: In a shocker this afternoon, Summerland Steam went into NDCC Arena and stunned the Nelson Leafs and the crowd with a 6-5 come from behind win. Castlegar Rebels blanked the Columbia Valley Rockies 8-0. Golden Rockets held off North Okanagan Knights for a 3-2 win. Fernie Ghostriders scored fast and scored often to spank Grand Forks Border Bruins 9-2.

Steam/Hawks - Postgame
It wasn't even close. Summerland came into Beaver Valley Arena with hopes of pulling off an upset. They almost thought they had a chance when they jumped out to a quick 1-goal lead less than 3 mins. in on a seeing-eye-shot by Gerry Hol. Those hopes were very quickly dashed when just 5 seconds later, Brock McDonald took a tripping penalty and Christian Johnson would make then pay for it just 36 seconds into the power play. That was the start of a 5 in a row penalty streak by the Steam that would have BV chalk up another ppg before the end of the period to take a 2-1 lead into the intermission.
The Nitehawks never looked back and knocked off 2 more goals by Edwards and Johnson(his 2nd of the night)just 4:35 into the 2nd period. Summerland would pull within 2 on a wicked wrist shot from Steve Semenoff with 7:09 remaining. Schapansky and Edwards would round out the scoring in the 3rd period.
Beaver Valley went 2 for 5(40%) on the PP while Summerland went 0 for 5.
Stars of the game were:
Justin Niminiken - 1G 2A - 3Pts
Christian Johnson - 2G 1A - 3Pts, seemed to be EVERYWHERE
Fraser Stang - no points but a physical presence in both zones all night
Side Note: Nick Perez returned to action in tonights game only to be hit again in, oddly, the same place along the boards. He skated to the bench under his own power and later returned to the ice. Will try and get an update on his condition. Max Flanagan was struck with an errant stick while he was sitting on the bench and went to the dressing room for repairs, I will try and get an update there as well. With 5 players already out with injury and 1 for suspension, BV doesnt need anymore setbacks this early on.
Tomorrows game against Spokane is a 1PM start here at home. I, unfortunately, wont be able to make the game due to family commitments but will try and get you updates as I get them.

Game Day - Summerland Steam
Good morning my little hawklings! Tonight we have a large lineup in the #KIJHL with 16 of 20 teams in action including our #Nitehawks. This is our first meeting with the Summerland Steam this season so I will get my first look at this team from the OK/Shuswap Conference.
The Steam come into tonights game with a record of 5-8-0-0 for 10 points riding the coat-tails of rookie Mark Ferguson and Jordan McCallum who each share the team lead with 18 points although Ferguson has played 2 fewer games. Summerland is looking to build off their loss to Spokane last night.
BV will be looking to erase the bitter defeat they suffered 3 nights back to division rival Nelson. The sensational line of Edwards, Martin and Derochie that lit up any and all KI goalie through the first 10 games have grown cold these last 2 which has given way for Dallas Calvin to step in and show us what he was brought in for with 9 pts in his last 4 games and 14 pts total in the 7 games he has played.
One thing of note, Summerland does not want to take penalties against BV as the sport the leagues best with 19 goals in 67 tries good for a whopping 28.36%!! Thats almost 3% higher than the next best. BV has to watch their P's and Q's as well as Steam sit in 6th with 20-98 and a respectable 20.41%.
Tonights game goes down at 7:30 as usual in the arena here in Fruitvale. Hope to see you at the game, give me a shout if you will be there, would love to chat :)

Hawks/Leafs - Postgame
As expected, it was a back and forth game with plenty of action. True to recent form, Patrick Martens stole the show and ensured that his #Leafs stamped their dominance atop the KIJHL's Neil Murdoch division.....for now! Mathematically, BV can still top Nelson by 1 point if they win all their games in hand.
With 2 goals and an assist, including and empty netter, Martens outscored the entire line of Edwards, Martin, and Derochie who only managed a combined 2 assists. It wasnt for the lack of shots as they outshot Nelson 34-26 but couldn't effectively bulge the twine as was so recently proven in the NHL where the Vancouver Canucks outshot their opponent 40-19 but still lost the game 4-0. Could it have been the lopsided power plays? I dont think so as BV went 2-for-3 on their chances while Nelson managed only 1-for-8.
However and whatever the reasons, something needs to be addressed if we want to remain a top contender. Next home game is Saturday Oct 22 when we play host to the Summerland Steam and then the next night Oct 23 against the border jumpers from Spokane. See you at the game!

Nitehawks -Nelson (NDCC Arena)
Tonight marks the second meeting between these teams this season. In their first meeting on Oct 4, Beaver Valley pulled off a comeback late in the third period to win 5-4.
Nelson comes into the game with 21 pts in 14 games to lead the Neil Murdock closely followed by BV who is only 3 points behind but also has 3 games in hand.
Look for a fast game filled with hits and a high shot count on both sides.
Verified scratch for tonights game is Dman Nick Perez who is still out with what is now known as an UPPER body injury and not a lower body as originally reported. When asked, Nick says he is excited to get back out there and will be hopefully taking back on the ice for this weekends game.
Tonights game time is 7pm at the NDCC Arena in Nelson. Watch online or follow @Adamkamara for up-to-the-minute updates or stay tuned on our own @BVNitehawks for updates.

A little about....everything!
So here it is, the inaugural post. I can't promise that what you read will be what you want, but I can say that what you read will be a bit more random than you are used to.
With that being said, a bit about me....
Coming from a mechanical background being a licensed Commercial Transport Tech, I lack the fundament skills of reporting that come naturally to the majority of my current twitter collegues. Originally from Kelowna (by way of Van Isle.), I got introduced to hockey early on and even tried playing when I was very young.
It wasn't until moving to Fruitvale that I had an opportunity to become MORE than just a spectator. I was asked to assisst with the play-by-play during the 2011 Playoffs. I soon realized there was nobody aside from the pbp guys that prformed any updating for the team. Soooooooo, I took it upon myself to pollute the twitterverse with my incessent gameday tweets and forced people to take notice by sheer numbers of updates.
Since then, I have come to know several of the others who also do this job....is it a job....really? For some, yes I guess it kinda is. For me, this something I do meerly for the pleasure of keeping people updated. Now, some would say, "I bet there are perks to doing what you are doing."....well...for some, there might be. Me, I still pay my $8 to get in the door...I still pay for my program every night, and why not? It supports our home team!!
Well enough about me, this is about the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and doing THIS on my phone is a pain!!
