Reign Rack Up Double Digits in New York

[Bojovnik 487]

The Riga Reign’s offence this season has been, in a word, shaky. That was until last night, when Latvia’s team put on a show on Broadway to down the New York Americans 11-3.

 

Riga went to work early in the game, scoring four goals in each of the opening two periods to put their mark on the game.

 

Artair McCloud and Cabe McJake led the line, racking up five points each, complimented by four points from Jolly Greene Giant on the blueline.

 

Speaking after the game, Czech defenceman Jan Hlozek, who registered a goal and two assists in the game, said that it was good to get the shackles off.

 

“We know that we’ve been struggling to score consistently throughout the season, so it was great to see it all come together tonight. We know that we have the quality on the roster to be a high-scoring team, but we also know that we can shut it down when needed,” Hlozek said.

 

For the Topolna native, keeping up this momentum is vital as the season nears the halfway mark.

 

“We’re still challenging for top spot in the European Conference and results like this should give us the confidence to know that we are a match for anyone in this league,” he said.
