That didn't take long.
Levko Koper comes out of the gate like a maniac to start the season with a hattie as the Chiefs beat Prince George 6-3 to start of the 2009-10 hockey season. Koper gets two goals in the first and one in the second. They were also the first three goals the Chiefs scored in the game. The other goals went to Tyler Johnson, David Conrad, and Blake Gal. James Reid overcame a difficult first period and performed well the rest of the way. The second game, also in Prince George, didn't go as well. The Chiefs lose 2-1 in OT. Levko Koper (there's that man, again) scored the lone goal for Spokane.
Considering it's the first weekend of the regular season I couldn't have expected any better. The Chiefs started their season with a road trip that is so far north I'm fairly sure it involves a 12 hour dogsled ride and an episode of Ice Road Truckers. Plus, there is the injury bug already. Jared Spurgeon, Cory Baldwin, and Ryan Letts are out with injury. We are also still missing Jared Cowen, who is training with the Ottawa Senators. Hopefully the Chiefs won't have to deal with injuries like they did last season.
Now that the first roadie is out of the way it's time for the home opener. Saturday can't get here soon enough. Tri comes to town. This will be a fun one.
Message to Tri-City: Levko Koper will be there. Hide your goalies.
Go Chiefs!
