NEWS: Pelech riding high on confidence

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan forward Mike Pelech is hopeful the manner of victory at Fife Flyers on Saturday can carry them into this weekend.

Clan take on Manchester Storm on the road on Saturday before returning to Braehead Arena to do battle with Nottingham Panthers on Sunday (face off 5:00pm).

And he was quick to give praise to the line mates who helped him to his first ever professional hat-trick in Kirkcaldy on Saturday.

“It definitely felt good (to score the hat-trick) and overall, it was a crazy weekend all around with the ups and downs and the amount of goals,” he said.

“A lot of credit has to go to my line mates though. They were battling in front of the net, and they worked hard in what they did.

“Coming back in the third period the way we did was big for us.  It wasn’t the first time we’d gone into a third period down by three goals on the road in an important game.

“Hopefully we can carry that momentum forward in another big weekend, and it gives us some confidence. Getting those two points was definitely important for us.

“Plus if you look at the standings, it’s really tight so we can put ourselves in a good position if we can get the wins from the two games.”
