GAME PREVIEW | REAPERS VS CHESHIRE PISTONS
With just over three hours to go, anticipation is building for what promises to be a thrilling night of midweek hockey action as the Chester Road Reapers face off against local rivals, the Cheshire Pistons. The puck drops at 20:45 at Deeside Leisure Centre — and you won’t want to miss it.
This local derby has all the ingredients for a fiery encounter: pride, passion, and points on the line. The Reapers come into this game looking to assert dominance on home ice, while the Pistons will be eager to steal bragging rights on the road.
The Lineup
The Reapers are bringing a deep bench tonight, with a forward unit stacked with experience and speed. Captain Steve Roberts leads the charge alongside sharp-shooters like Ellis Flanagan, Craig Miller, and George Kelly. Keep an eye out for Lucas Jones and Noah Deverowe – both capable of turning the game on its head with a moment of magic.
On the blue line, the Reapers are rock solid. Rhys Stout, Bruce Morton, and Scarlet Strefford bring the physicality, while Matt Ravenscroft and Steve Kewin offer calm puck control and vision from the back.
Between the pipes, Dave Meadows will be the last line of defence — calm under pressure and ready to stand tall if the Pistons start firing.
