Kodiaks tame Bulldogs
By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks edged the Blackfalds Bulldogs 3-2 in another close battle with the newest Alberta Junior Hockey Team, October 18.
Camrose jumped on the Bulldogs early to lead 2-0 after the opening period. Carson Whyte scored early and then Noah Alvarez netted a power play marker late in the period.
The two clubs played even hockey in the middle frame with no scoring. In the third, Owen Dean gave the Kodiaks a larger lead before the Bulldogs mounted a comeback attempt. Both Blackfalds tallies came on the power play, the second with a minute left on the clock.
Goalie Robert Andreakos stopped 30 of 32 shots fired his way. Camrose recorded 31 shots on goal.
The Okotoks Oilers used the same strategy against Camrose to win 4-3 in overtime on October 15.
After Okotoks scored twice in the opening period, The Kodiaks brought the game closer in the middle frame with a 2-1 advantage to make the score 3-2.
Callum Gau, on a power play, and Ty Sauer connected for single markers in the second period.
Camrose netted the only tally in the third when Dean scored with the man advantage to send the game into overtime.
Netminder Andreakos turned away 37 of 41 shots directed at the cage. The Kodiaks fired 29 shots on the Oilers’ net.
Camrose had a stretch of four straight one goal games. This time, they edged the Canmore Eagles 5-4 in a shoot-out. Both teams scored a goal in the first period with Jared Chapel supplying the Camrose goal.
In the middle frame, Camrose out-flew the Eagles 3-2 with markers coming from Ryan Sullivan, Gau and Myles Gauld. An Eales goal in the third period forced overtime. When both teams were shut out, a shoot-out was needed to determine the outcome.

HALLOWEEN EDITION
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself … and spiders. Tonight I’ll be car ving the pumpkin with the kids … which means I’ll be doing it myself while they tell me the eyes don’t look good and whine that it’s taking way too long. Does anyone know where adults can go trick- ortreating? Looking for a neighbourhood that hands out tacos and margaritas. With Halloween just around the corner, a quick reminder to parents about candy. Just checking it is not enough. You must sample as much as you can. For your children’s safet y, of course. Halloween is coming up and I still don’t even know what I want to be for the rest of my life. My roommates are convinced our house is haunted. I’ve lived here for 274 years and haven’t noticed any thing strange. L a te one night , Jack takes a shor tcut through the cemeter y. Hearing a tapping sound, he becomes scared and quickens his pace. The tapping gets louder and Jack is now scared out of his wits! Then he notices a man chiselling a tombstone. “Thank goodness!” Jack says to the man. “You gave me the fright of my life. Why are you working so late?” The man replies, “They spelled my name wrong.” I think ghosts are just people who died while tr ying to fold a tted sheet . The best way to teach kids about taxes is to eat 25 percent of their candy.
How kids judge the Halloween candy you hand out
The Old Timer: [hands out old -fashioned hard candy] Good candy probably wasn’t invented yet when you were a kid. You may even be a Titanic sur vivor, so we’ll respect your e or t . The Spaz: [hands out stale for tune cookies, packages of ketchup, loose change] You get an “A” for awk ward. Either you grossly underestimated or “candy ” was agrantly forgotten on your grocer y list . The Par t y Pooper: [hands out fruit , dental oss, toothbrushes, raisins] You’re probably allergic to sugar and happiness, but our new cavities are still going to get diabetes tonight . The Trust y Provider: [hands out traditional mini chocolate bars] Nothing too fancy, nothing too nast y. You’re a solid source of one or t wo enjoyable or tradeable fun-sized treats. Cheapy McCheapface: [hands out candy from last year’s af ter-Halloween sales] Money may not grow on your trees, but tonight some toilet paper might . The Psychopath: [hands out gummies in the shape of skeletons, spiders, co ns, ngers] Your soul must be as dark and bitter as black licorice. At least there’s no worr y about poison in your uneaten candy. The Legend: [hands out full -sized chocolate bars] One day, we shall tell our own kids about your kindness. And the gold -plated private jet you must have laying around somewhere.
