The Rivermen snapped a six-game skid against Coquitlam...head coach Steve O'Rourke cites the team's development philosophy this season as part of its struggles, saying "We've taken a patient approach. We could have traded guys and panicked, and not let these guys develop. We look at some of these kids, like [rookie defenceman] Bo Pellah, [Valik] Chichkin, and [Nicholas] Gushue, all of them could still be playing midget hockey. Put these guys on any major midget team and they're all-stars."
