On Saturday in Innisfail, the Colts earned a thrilling 4-3 shootout victory over the Three Hills Thrashers. Trailing 3-1, Mountain View climbed back into it thanks in part to a pair of goals – including the game tying goal in the third period – from 18-year-old rookie forward Ryder Hammer from Olds. Hammer also netted a goal in the shootout.
