A bad first period cost the Dauhpin Kings in Winkler. 

The Flyers came out fast and furious, scoring all the goals they would need in just the first period en route to a 3-1 win. 

Brandon Holtby got a big piece of the first two shots, but some unlucky bounces resulted in the puck just landing over the Kings goal line. 

Halfway through the second period Darren Gisti put the Kings on the board, putting his great shot to use, rifling a puck off the top bar and in.

The Dauphin Kings visited the Dauphin Fire Department Wednesday evening. 

The Kings divided into groups of three and took to the course set up by Dauphin Fire Chief and Kings Director of Billets Cam Abrey. 

The players had to carry a 160lb. dummy, move a large tire by hitting it with a sledgehammer, then carry two large buckets back towards the fire station. And that's just the first half of the course. 

After that the players took a fire hose, walk forward with it and shoot at the corners of a hockey net. After that they had to roll up a separate hose, then climb a ladder and ring a bell to finish.

The event was done to create create chemistry, communication and overall make for a tighter-knit group of players.

It was a perfect opportunity for new arrivals Ashton Clark and Howard Yawit, who were acquired from Portage Tuesday, to get to know and begin working with their new teammates. 

The Kings are back in action on Friday when they're on the road to Winkler.

 

Another local hockey player has had a setback in the major leagues due to injury.

Grandview's Ryan Pulock has broken his foot and will be out 4-6 weeks.

He broke the foot while blocking a shot in his first call-up game for the Isles this season against Arizona.

Roblin's Jayce Hawryluk has also been on the sidelines after breaking his hand during a preseason game with the Florida Panthers against Washington.
