Rapids Face Rockets & Comets in Crucial Weekend Matchups, Plus All-Star Game Saturday!

Rapids at Rockets - Friday, January 10th

This weekend, the Paugan Falls Rapids are in for a thrilling stretch of games that will test their resilience and playoff hopes. First up, the team heads into a re-scheduled game on Friday, January 10th, to face the North Dundas Rockets, who are currently undefeated with an impressive record of 14-0. The Rockets have dominated the league so far, boasting a goals-for average of 6.7 and the best special teams in the league, with a 29% power play and 86% penalty kill. The last time these teams met, the Rockets came out on top with an 8-1 win in November, but the Rapids have since demonstrated they can go toe-to-toe with top teams, especially after their recent strong performances against the Manotick Mariners. Look for the Rapids to bring the energy from those encounters and the experience they gained in last year’s playoff series against the Rockets.

Rapids at Comets - Sunday, January 12th

On Sunday, January 12th, the Rapids will take on the Pontiac Comets in another important matchup. The Comets have gotten the better of the Rapids in all three matchups this season, with the scores staying close (2-1, 5-3, 5-2), but the Comets have still found ways to edge out the Rapids. With the Rapids just 3 points behind the Comets in the standings, this game is crucial for playoff positioning and could have a major impact on the team's seeding. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Rapids in this must-win game as they push to pass the Comets in the standings.
