SECOND PERIOD
The line of Brian Dies, Brett Charette and Russell Trudeau started off the Riels with
two quick goals, twenty-three seconds apart at 7:22 when Brian Dies scored on a

from Trudeau and Charette.
Then at 7:45, Dies finished off a three way passing play from Trudeau and Charette.

it. A late goal at 17:15, Johnson scored for the Jets from Meilleur with the period
