Brandon, MB. — Day one of Brandon Wheat Kings’ Rookie Camp is in the books after an exciting scrimmage Wednesday night at Westman Communications Group Place.

After five minutes of overtime solved nothing, it was Duncan Campbell’s Shootout goal that was the difference as Team White scored a 5-4 victory over the Black Team.

While Campbell’s goal turned out to be the winner, Team White went a perfect 3 for 3 in the Shootout, getting goals from Ty Lewis and Stelio Mattheos – the first overall selection in last spring’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft in Winnipeg.

Tanner Kaspick and Kirklan Lycar meanwhile scored shootout goals for the Black Team that had battled back from a 3-0 deficit during regulation time to take a 4-3 lead with ten minutes to play.

McKenzie Welke’s goal with just over four minutes to play tied the game and set the stage for Overtime.

A 15-year old Winnipeg product, Mattheos scored two goals to pace the winners in regulation time while defenceman James Shearer added a single.

Three members of Team Black – Kaspick, Connor Gutenberg and Dylan Thiessen – had a goal and an assist in a losing cause for Team Black. Bradly Goethals rounded out the scoring in the game that featured some excellent goaltending at both ends of the rink.

Logan Thompson and Justin Klassen combined to stop 33 of 37 shots for the winners while Evan Robert, Josh Dechaine and Hunter Arps teamed up to stop 40 of 44 in the Black net.

Rookie camp continues Thursday with two scrimmage games – at 10am and 6pm. Both games are open to the public.

Main Camp is scheduled to get underway on Friday, with the annual Intrasquad game Sunday at 2pm.
