Huskies Sweep Homestand - Get Back on Track

The Fort St. John Huskies had one of their worst efforts as a team Wednesday November 15th in Dawson Creek. The Scoreboard flattered the Huskies as they looked uninspired most of the game. That loss halted a 5 game winning streak, but a couple games at home seemed to be the perfect tonic for a the most talented in the NWJHL.

The Huskies are yet to lose at home, they beat the Sexsmith Vipers 6-4 on Friday and the Grande Prairie Wheelers 5-1 on Saturday. Chris Jenkins got his first start in net since Nov 9th on Friday and picked up the Win. Jenkins had been bothered by an ailing ankle but looked solid in the victory. Wendel Dyer had another great home win Saturday, he allowed just one tally on 28 shots.

The Huskies have won 7 of 8 and now have a comfy 5 pt cushion over the second place Dawson Creek Jr. Canucks.

This Weekend's action sees the Huskies hit the road for a pair of games. Friday you can catch the Huskies on Moose FM with a 7:45 pre-game and 8 O'Clock Puck Drop in Dawson Creek. Saturday the Sled Dogs head to Grande Prairie for a 8:45 game, that one also airs on the Moose... Pregame underway at half past eight.
