No stretch run here as Leafs drop pair on the weekend
By The Nelson Daily Sports
A promising start to the New Year is turning into a nightmare for the Nelson Leafs.
The Green and White lost its third straight — fourth in the last five games — 3-2 to the Castlegar Rebels in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Sunday afternoon at the NDCC Arena.
Nelson lost to Beaver Valley Nitehawks 4-3 Saturday as the Leafs completed a long 10-game home stand with a 3-4-1-2 record.
The Leafs took a 1-0 lead on the Rebels as Alex Meeker, back from serving a suspension, scored on the power play six minutes into the game.
