Burns Lake Peewees Rebound From Heartbreaking Loss

The Burns Lake Peewees have rebounded from yesterday's heartbreaking loss, to win their final round-robin game at the Tier Four Provincial Championships in Clearwater. Jarrett Stanyer scored two goals and added an assist, as Burns Lake dumped Windemere Valley 8-2 this morning. Yesterday, Burns Lake lost 4-3 to Lumby, after leading 3-1 with just over two minutes remaining in the game.

Burns Lake finished the round robin with a 3-and-2 record, and now waits to see if the team makes tonight's championship final.

Elsewhere, the Tier-Four Midget Provincials are continuing at the Tom Forsyth Arena in Burns Lake. Yesterday, the Houston Midgets knocked off host team 8-6 in a nailbiter yesterday. In a show of good sportsmanship, a Houston player broke a skate-blade in that game, and a Burns Lake hockey mom found him a replacement -- which turned out to be a skate borrowed from an official.

The Terrace Midgets dropped their final round robin game at the Tier Three provincials in Victoria Juan de Fuca, losing 5-2 to Kerry Park. They finish with a 1-and-3 record.

The Terrace Peewees got back into the win column yesterday in Winfield, outscoring Castlegar 8-7, to finish the round robin at 3-1.

In Bantam action, Kitimat is 1-and-1 at the Tier Two Provincials in Williams Lake, after losing 6-5 to Prince George yesterday. Kitimat led that game 3-0 at one point. They play Juan de Fuca today (at noon).

And the Terrace Bantams finished the round robin with a 2-and-2 record at the Tier Three Provincials in Castlegar, after losing to Dawson Creek 5-1 yesterday. The playoff pairings will be announced this afternoon.
