BC EDGES SASKATCHEWAN 3-2

The Western Canada 2015 U16 Challenge Cup was back for Day 3 as Saskatchewan was looking for their win of the tournament while BC was after their second victory.

Saskatchewan got off to the early lead as forward Tyler Lees buried a goal on the power play. BC countered with a goal from Keltie Jeri-Leon to tie the game at 1-1. Saskatchewan restored their lead with a goal from Prince Albert Raiders prospect Cole Fonstad. The goal by Fonstad came on the power play and it marked his first of the tournament as Saskatchewan held a 2-1 lead entering the middle frame.

The second period saw Saskatchewan shit to a conservative approach as they held a 2-1 lead. Saskatchewan goaltender Jake Davidson turned aside 11 shots to help the team maintain their one goal lead through 40 minutes.

BC came out on the attack in the third period as Jeri-Leon buried his second goal of the game at the 1:30 mark to tie the game up at 2-2. BC forward Eli Zummack then took a nice feed from Jackson Leppard behind the net and fired a high wrist shot by Saskatchewan goaltender Jake Davidson with less than eight minutes to play.

BC escaped with a 3-2 victory after Saskatchewan pulled the netminders and had a 6-on-4 advantage due to a late Austin Chorney penalty.

BC outshot Saskatchewan 35-22 in the win and own a record of 2-1-0-0 while Saskatchewan remains winless at 0-3-0-0.
