It was a busy weekend for the Airdrie Thunder as the 2017 preseason began in the Heritage Junior Hockey League.

Fans got a first look at the Junior B team when they battled the High River Flyers on Friday (September 8) at the Ron Ebbesen Arena.

In the end, the home team played hard, squeeking past the Flyers 3-2.

It was a different story on Sunday (September 10) when the Thunder traveled to Didsbury to face their North Division rivals the Mountainview Colts.

The Colts had full control of the game through 3 periods, winning 5-1.

Next up for the Thunder is a preseason tilt with the Blackfalds Wranglers on September 15th at Ron Ebbesen.
