Colton Dachwitz had three points to lead the short-handed Nelson Bantam Reps to a 6-1 victory over Spokane during minor hockey action Friday at the Civic Centre Arena.

Nelson made it two straight Saturday over the visiting Lilac City squad posting a 6-3 win.

Friday, Nelson led 2-1 after one frame before exploding for three goals in the second period.

Brandon Sookro, with two goals and Sawyer Hunt, converting a penalty shot, also scored for the Reps.

“We had two Bantam affiliate players, Liam Butterfield and Cole Sutherland, play with us in light of the fact that we had several sick or injured players,” said Nelson coach Jeff Hunt, pleased with the play of the two call ups.

Saturday, Sookro led the Nelson charge with a pair of goals. Nelson once again broke open a close game with a three-goal explosion in the third period.

Dashwitz and Sam Weber also scored for Nelson.

Adam Maida was outstanding between the pipes, registering wins in both games. Brayden Pompu, Nelson’s other goalie, missed the weekend due to injury.

The Reps are back on the ice this weekend with a pair of games, Friday, 6 p.m. at the NDCC Arena, and Saturday 11 a.m. in the Civic Centre, against rival Castlegar.
