Generals edge Eagles during Hometown Hockey Tour
It was senior men’s hockey at its finest at the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex in Lacombe on Sunday as the hometown Generals earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Innisfail Eagles.
In the midst of the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour in Lacombe, the rink was near capacity as fans watched both teams try to establish more momentum heading into the Allan Cup Hockey West playoffs.
The first period went scoreless with Lacombe leading on the shot clock 10-4 after twenty minutes.
In the second, Kyle Bailey broke the ice on the power play at 15:24 to put the Generals on the board 1-0. Innisfail responded though when Geoff Rollins scored an unassisted goal for the Eagles to make it 1-1 after forty.
