kodiaks streak ends, sockeyes continues

The North Vancouver Wolf Pack took over sole possession of fourth place in the Shaw Conference, and in the process , ended the Aldergrove Kodiaks amazing streak of ten straight wins. Marcus Houck and Quin Buckellew both scored twice, and Spencer Quon assisted on all four Wolf Pack goals as North Van evened it's season record at .500. Aldergrove is now nine points behind Abbotsford in the Brittain Conference race with eleven games remaining on their schedule. At Sungod Arena, the Richmond Sockeyes out-shot the North Delta Devils 48-28, and out-scored them 3-1, to stretch their latest winning streak to an impressive eight games. They now have a six point lead atop the Shaw Conference standings and appear to be rolling along nicely. North Delta remain in third place in the Shaw, but, have been slipping lately, going only 3-5-2 in their last ten games. The two teams will face off again in a Thursday night rematch in Richmond. Finally, in Port Moody, the Panthers dropped their fourteenth game in a row to the visiting Ridge Meadows Flames by a score of 7-4. The win was a nice bounce back for the Flames who had a tough night at home on Friday. They remain solidly in third place in the Brittain standings, while the Panthers will continue to try to close the six point gap between themselves and fourth placed Mission City.
