First Loss For The Huskies

The Huskies dropped their first game of the season Friday night in Dawson Creek.
The Jr. Canucks switched to number one goalie Alex Gauvreau halfway through the game and came back from a 4-2 defecit to earn a big 6-5 victory at home to split the home and home mini series with the Huskies.
The breaking point seemed to be the short handed breakaway goal by Jr. Canucks D-man Lorne Weaver that was as unlikely as it was a difference maker.
The Huskies now head to Sexsmith to face the red hot league leading Vipers. This game should be a good indicator of how good each team is in this early NWJHL season. The Vipers are well rested for the match not having played since last weekend while the Huskies will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. Pre-game is at 6:45 on Moose FM.
