Roughriders Hoist Cup in Richmond, British Columbia

Westminister, CO - As of today, the Rocky Mountain Roughriders are 41-8-2 in combined play which includes league play in both NAPHL and CAHA and also including Tournaments. Mark Twain once said there are three kinds of people in the world "liers, damned liers and statisticians". I hope we don't make any convenient statistics in this post, but there are some really interesting facts that are uncovered here.

The Roughrider U16 AAA team is a very disciplined team. In both CAHA and NAPHL play, the Roughriders are the least penalized team.

Stats are just that, a bunch of numbers. However these numbers do show an overall trend with the Roughriders. When they manage the puck defensively and move the puck up to their forwards, the other teams have a difficult time stopping them.
