An eight-goal scoring spree in the second period was key in the Rockyview Silvertips' 16-12 win over the Red Deer Rampage on May 26.

Tied 4-4 after the first period, the Tips took a commanding 12-5 lead after two, enough to hold off a third-period seven-goal rush by the Rampage. 

A third of the way through the regular season, it's shaping up to be a banner season for the Tips. Their sole loss was against their long-time nemesis, the Calgary Chill, in a game that was close to the final buzzer.

The Silvertips have a chance to avenge that loss on Thursday night when they take on the Chill at the Brentwood Sportsplex. They return home to Totem One on June 2 to face the ever-threatening Calgary Mountaineers (J Mounties). Game time is 7 p.m.

On May 25, the Rage Jr. B tier 2 team won their third of the season against the West Kootenay Timberwolves, 13-4. On the road Sunday, they were doubled by the Medicine Hat Sun Devils, 10-5. The Rage are 3-2 on the season and within striking distance of third place with a game in hand.

The Rage hit the road Wednesday night to play the Calgary Axemen before travelling to Red Deer to take on the Renegades on June 1. They have a long stretch of road games before returning home for a pair on June 14 and 16.
