On the trip back home the boys stopped in at Revelstoke for a game of shinny with the Grizzlies. Mattes took the loss in this one to the tune of 5-2 with the last goal an empty netter.

Nic Fidanza and Johnson got goals for the Heat. The Grizzlies scored three powerplay goals to none for the local side which made the difference in this third game of the weekend.

Next up is a home game on Friday, Nov. 8 versus the Golden Rockets followed by a return to Revelstoke on Saturday. On the Nov. 11, the team is in 100 Mile House for a Remembrance Day contest. The Heat honour and respect the efforts of veterans and encourage everyone to buy a poppy.
