Sports Sockeyes and Kodiaks put win streaks on the line tonight
Something has to give tonight when two of the hottest teams in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League collide in Aldergrove. The Richmond Sockeyes take a three-game win streak into the Fraser Valley city while the host Kodiaks have rolled off four straight victories that includes a 4-3 at Richmond on Oct. 17. The Sockeyes closed within a single point of the Delta Ice Hawks for top spot in the Tom Shaw Conference with a 6-3 win over the North Delta Devils on Saturday night at Sungod Arena. The visitors opened up a 3-0 lead on first period goals by John Wesley,
Ayden McDonald and Richmond Minor alumni Jacob Wesley. The Devils answered with a pair in the second period before captain Adam Nishi answered for the Sockeyes. After North Delta had once again pulled within a goal, MacDonald’s second of the night with 9:19 remaining provided some breathing room. Jackson Waniek closed out the scoring less than two minutes later. The 17-year-old Surrey native also chipped in with a pair of assists and now has five points in as many games since being acquired from Aldergrove for future considerations earlier this month. Nishi also enjoyed a three point night, while
Cole Plotnikoff chipped had a pair of assists. Kootenay Alder made 27 saves for the win as Richmond outshot the Devils 52-30. Two nights earlier, Richmond scored four unanswered second period goals en route to a 5-2 home ice win over the Ridge Meadows Flames. Trailing 1-0, Waniek began the outburst with a power play tally. MacDonald then notched a pair and Mac Colasimone made it 4-1. Waniek closed out the scoring with his second of the night in the early stages of the third period. Matthew Bissett notched a pair of assists, while Kurt Russell made 28 saves.
