Leafs taking slow road up Murdoch standings ladder, split weekend home series
The Leafs march back to the upper echelon in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League is taking longer than expected after Nelson suffered its second loss during a 10-game home stand thought to be the team’s chance to make a run up the standings as the season winds down.
Thomas Cankovic scored with 44 seconds remaining in overtime to give the visiting Creston Valley Thunder Cats a 4-3 KIJHL victory over the Leafs Saturday night at the NDCC Arena.
