The Nelson Peewee Leafs had a difficult time focusing on hockey during a Minor Hockey Tournament this past weekend in Westside near Kelowna.

The Reps lost three straight games to finish well down the pack in the annual pre-Christmas event Sunday in the Central Okanagan suburb.

Westbank dumped the Reps 6-2 in consolation round action Sunday. Logan Mengler and Aigne McGeady-Bruce scored the only goals for Nelson.

Curt Doyle went the distance in goal for the Leafs, playing all four games.

“Curt was played solid throughout the weekend,” said Nelson coach Ron Podgorenko. “He had a very good weekend as well as (defencemen) Amit Bhabra and Matthew Jones.”

Nelson opened the tournament Saturday morning by doubling Campbell River 6-3. Everett Hicks led the Leafs with a pair of goals. Singles went to Bryce Twible, Jaden Bennett, Justin Podgorenko and Taylor Cooper.

However, the momentum quickly went south as Nelson was pounded by a 7-2 score by Kelowna Tier II later in the day. Jaden Maida scored one of the two goals for the Leafs.

Sunday Nelson Salmon Arm added to Nelson’s woes with a 3-1 victory.

The Reps now head into the Christmas break before returning to the ice in January.
