Raiders Regina 570x423
The Raiders celebrate their overtime win

Kole Lind scored in overtime to life the Swift Current Kabos Bantam Raiders 3-2 over the Regina Pat Blues in the A-Consolation final of their home tournament.

The Raiders were dominant in the round robin before losing the A semi-final 2-1 to Okotoks in a shootout and bouncing back for the consolation win on Sunday.

Raiders Coach Kent Woods was pleased with their defensive game.

Full Interview with Kent Woods"From the start of the year where we definitely had way more defensive lapses for us to only give up 7 goals in 4 games that's a marked improvement for us," Woods said. "Right now it's just huge for us heading forward to keep building. We're peaking at the right time."

Tanner Nagel and Carter Tangen also scored for the Raiders. Both Tangen and Lind had 2 point games. The Raiders outshot the Pat Blues 38-20.

Lind's goal and assist came after a 7 point effort against Weyburn earlier in the tournament. The Shaunavon product recently joined the Raiders lineup after missing the start of the year with an injury.

"He brings a dynamic guy that can score the big game winning goal," Woods said of Lind. "But he also allows us to have depth. It's given us three lines that really chip in all the time and we score by committee."

Forward Tristan Carey also had a 7 point game against Weyburn and scored 5 times in that game. It was the game of his career so far.

Full Interview with Tristan Carey"It was fun," Carey said. "To get confidence back and everything was going in so we had a good time."

After an inconsistent start to the season, Woods noted the Raiders are 7-1-1-1 in two recent tournaments. They have next weekend off before heading to a tournament in Prince Albert.

Okotoks beat Calgary's Edge Academy 5-4 in overtime to win the A-Final. The Oilers beat Swift Current 2-1 in a semi-final shootout to advance to the championship game.
