60 SEASONS OF PRIDE CATCH ALL THE ACTION DURING THE HISTORIC 60TH SEASON
…continue from page A17 Smooth skating Kodiaks’ defenceman Stefan Gonzales was a dominant force, finishing with a goal and two assists. His first period tally was an end-toend rush, finished off with a laser beam into the net. The 20-year-old, who will play for Selkirk College Saints of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League next season, is the top scoring defenceman in the PJHL. Prior to joining the Kodiaks, Gonzales played three seasons in the B.C. Hockey League with the Coquitlam Express (2009/10) and Quesnel Millionaires (2010/11). He split last season between the Chilliwack Chiefs and the Victoria Grizzlies. “He’s such a fantastic young man,” Johnson said, regarding his ace defenceman. “He’s got lots of power and he skates well.” The Kodiaks put their four-game winning streak on the line this past Saturday against the Tom Shaw-conference leading Richmond Sockeyes, who entered the weekend with a PJHL-best 31-8-0-1 record. Results were not available due to holiday weekend early press deadlines. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”
