Although the hockey season has been in full swing for a while now, the Raiders recently recorded a victory over the Picton Pirates, 6-3. In attendence were well over 200 fans, the deputy mayor, and a volunteer group consisting of Canadians(from Canada World Youth), and Peruvians(from the la Brigada de Voluntarios Bolivarianos del Peru) who are staying in the community. The group enjoyed the event, and for many of the Peruvians, was their first time watching a live hockey game.
