The Roadrunners hosted their first-ever Wedding On Ice Friday night, as Season Ticket Members Annie John and Dustin Powers, who met at a Roadrunners game, celebrated their love during the game’s first intermission.
THEY SAID IT:
“We played pretty well in both games this weekend, we had a couple minutes here or there where we broke down or turned the puck over a few times but for the most part we played really strong and really hard. They played well, so props to them, but we just need to carry the way we played over into the road trip and we’ll be okay.”
Roadrunners defenseman Cam Dineen following Saturday’s contest.
