LETHBRIDGE – The first regular season game in the inaugural season for the Lethbridge Lightning didn’t go the way the home team would’ve liked, a 5-1 loss to the defending Provincial Senior “AA” Champion Nanton Palominos.
Cam Hurt will go down in Lethbridge Lightning history as the first player to score a goal, but that was the only offence the team mustered. Defenseman Cole Percifield drew the only assist.
For the Palominos, Brady Hoctmer scored twice while Tanner Franson, Jeff Beitel, and Luke Loomer each buried a goal of their own.
The good news for the Lighting is they won’t have to play the defending champs again until December, so they’ll have some time to gain chemistry and build as a team.
