New coach, same result!

Morgan Cooke of O'Leary and rookie Itan Chavira had big nights to add to the Summerside Western Capitals' woes Friday night.

Chavira had a four-point night - two goals and two assists - while Cooke scored once and added two helpers to lead the Charlottetown Abbies to a 6-2 victory before 900 fans at MacLauchlan Arena.

The game marked the debut of Caps' interim head coach Gordie Dwyer following the team's decision to release the entire coaching staff - Forbie Kennedy, Mike Kennedy and Dave Mitchell - earlier this week. The Caps fell to 1-8-0-1 (won-lost-overtime losses-shootout losses) with the loss.

Nathan Snowie (2) and Neil Sherren also scored for the Abbies (6-4-0-1), who are tied with Restigouche for second place in the Roger Meek Division.

Jordan Knox and Ben Sherren replied for the Capitals.

The first period ended in a 2-2 tie, and the Abbies led 4-2 after 40 minutes.

Winning goaltender Alex Dupuis stopped 31 of 33 shots. The Caps' Tim MacPhee gave up six goals on 39 shots.

The game's three stars were:

1. Itan Chavira (Abbies), 2. Morgan Cooke (Abbies), 3. Nathan Snowie (Abbies).

Next home game for the Capitals is Sunday against Antigonish at 2 p.m.
