While Mother Nature literally rained on the Neepawa Natives parade on Saturday, Sept. 22, Winkler goaltender Riley Morgan did the same in a figurative sense just a few hours later, leading the Flyers to a 4-3 shootout win. The 18-year-old made 48 saves, including a game-saving stop with just 23 seconds left in regulation. He also stopped all three Neepawa players he faced in the shootout. The victory was the second straight in as many nights for the Flyers, as they topped the Natives by the same 4-3 score on Friday, Sept. 21, in their home opener at the Winkler Recreation Complex.
