A rematch against the J. Mounties was sweet for the Rockyview Silvertips.

They evened the score against the Calgary team with a 12-9 win in exhibition play on the road yesterday.

With the score tied at 7 after two periods of play, it came to a third-period showdown.

In their previous meeting, the Mounties came from behind to win 10-9 in overtime.

On July 10 in Lethbridge, the Tips failed in an attempt to come back from a 10-6 deficit after two periods of play.

The Barracudas held on to win 12-10, with the Tips scoring their last goal with 47.2 seconds remaining on the clock.

The Silvertips are in Okotoks for the first matchup against the Marauders in the short exhibition season on July 15. They wrap up their season with a tournament, also in Okotoks, with three games, July 19 to 22.
