Clips edge Caps on fight-filled night

by Kevin Rothbauer of The Cowichan Valley Citizen

The Caps have boasted the league's deadliest powerplay of late, watching their ranking climb from 15th in the 16-team league to third, with a 22.45 per cent efficiency rating.

The Caps also acquired goaltender Marco Raimondo in a cash deal with the Cornwall Colts of the Ontario-based Central Junior Hockey League, and released goalie Matt Ferraro.
