The Airdrie Midget AA Lightning finally opened their regular season last weekend.

The defending North Conference Champions opened their year on the road against the West Central Tigers on Friday (September 30th).

Dace Carlson had two goals in the game while Logan Rutherford and Logan MacDonald had two assists each to lead the Lightning to a 3-2 win.

The Lightning were hoping to keep the spark going when they took on the Medicine Hat Hounds at their home opener the next day.

Ricky Doucette and Sloan Coppicus scored the only goals for the Lightning in a 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Hounds.

Next up for the team is a home match with the Bow Valley Timberwolves on Saturday, October 7th.
