Short leads Tiger attack

Published: May 26, 2009

Two weeks after boosting the Vernon Vipers to a national junior A hockey title, Robbie Short helped the Vernon Re/Max Tigers stop the host Rutland Raiders 9-7 in Thompson/Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Saturday night.
“It was nice to have Robbie Short back,” said Tigers’ co-coach Rich Zecchel. “He scored twice and played a good two-way game.”
Short, the Tigers’ captain, missed Vernon’s first four league games.
Import Jordan Jarvis, of Saskatchewan, scored on his first shot with the Tigers, and then accepted a challenge to fight a Raider in the second period.
The Tigers took a few early double minor penalties for crosschecking from behind, and went down 5-2 before tying the score in the second period while even strength.
Goalie Josh Phillips took a shot to the head in warm-up, and after appearing shaky early in the first, settled down and was solid for Vernon (4-0-1).
The Tigers will entertain the Kamloops Rattlers in a first-place showdown Saturday (7:30) at Wesbild Centre. The Rattlers (4-2-1) grounded the Kelowna Warriors 10-5 and stoned the Armstrong Shamrocks 15-2 in weekend games.
