Ice let points slip away against Greater Vancouver Canadians
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The Kootenay Ice had a Greater Vancouver Canadians squad that was primed for allowing two points to slip away.
However, the Canadians played just well enough to sweep the two game BC Hockey Major Midget League series this past weekend in Castlegar.
Greater Van defeated the Ice 3-1 Saturday and 4-2 Sunday.
Kootenay took a 1-0 lead in the opener on a goal by Aiden Browell of Fruitvale.
However, Greater Van tied the game before the period ended then scored twice to secure the win in the third frame.
Sunday, Kootenay twice let one-goal leads slip away before the Canadians scored three times in the third to steal the win.
Kadrian Klimchuk and Shawn Campbell, both of Castlegar, scored in the first and second periods, respectively.
Four different scorers replied for Greater Van.
Burk Solomon of Castlegar and Jason Mailhiot of Trail were in goal for Kootenay.
Kootenay, dropping to 4-20-4, returns to action this weekend with a pair of games against Okanagan Rockets Saturday, 5:45 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m., at the NDCC Arena.
