Saturday night home games suit the Richmond Sockeyes just fine.
Playing a rare weekend tilt at Minoru Arena, the Sockeyes cruised to a 9-3 victory over the Mission City Outlaws. Richmond struck for five goals in the opening 20 minutes and never looked back in recording its 13th win of the season to pull within six points of Tom Shaw Conference leaders Delta with three games in hand.
Richmond Minor product Jacob Wozney led the way with a hat trick. Liam Lawson added two goals and one assist, while Dominic Centis, Mac Colasimone, Nicholas Patey and John Wesley also scored.
Captain Adam Nishi chipped in with three assists. Kurt Russell made 17 stops for the win.
The Sockeyes return to their regular Thursday night home slot when the Abbotsford Pilots visit at 7 p.m. The teams are also slated to meet in Abbtsford on Dec. 13
