While the first period was a little sloppy, the Ravens eventually found their feet and continually got better as the game progressed, skating to a 12-2 victory.

Nash Fuerth led the way, potting an opening night hat trick, while Derek Dunn, Brayden Foster, Nathan Mariuz and AJ Youssef scored two each to help the cause.

Ben Liebrock, who opened the scoring, netted one goal to add in the attack.

An upcoming tournament should help the team bond and continue to improve as they strive to meet all of the goals they have set for themselves.
