Cats beat best, who axe coach By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Jason Bae of the Centennial Centaurs leaps for a header in a Fraser Valley North AAA senior boys soccer league game Tuesday versus Port Moody’s Heritage Woods Kodiaks at Parkland elementary school field. Kyle Kwong and Conor Ayre struck for a goal apiece as the Centaurs prevailed, 2-1.
Port Moody Black Panthers played precisely as their coach wanted Tuesday in Delta. The host Ice Hawks obviously didn’t, and their bench boss paid the ultimate price for it. Darryl Erickson was fired as the Ice Hawks’ head coach right after Delta –– the best team in the 10-team Pacific Inter national Jr. B hockey league with a 9-3-2 record –– lost 4-3 to the Black Panthers, who improved to 5-5-4 with the victory. Dave McLellan, who coached the BCHL Burnaby (now Coquitlam) Express before being dismissed after last season, has taken over guiding the Ice Hawks. The Cats darted to a two-goal lead after Cameron Lawson and Joel Hamilton scored back-to-back goals two minutes apart midway through the first period. The Ice Hawks battled back to even the count 2-2 early in the second and the teams were knotted 3-3 when Cats’ six-foot-two forward M i c o D r a g u t i n ov i c bagged what proved the
winner at 8:04 of the middle frame. The Ron Johnsoncoached Cats continued their up-and-down play, upsetting Delta just two weeks after losing to the PIJHL’s worst unit, the Squamish Wolf Pack, 5-4 in Squamish. When asked if Tuesday’s game was the Black Panthers’ best showing of the season, their general manager Ron Luniw replied: “A complete game? Yes. We played hard from start to finish. I think that was our most complete game defensively, for sure.� L aw s o n a n d Jo e l Hamilton led the Cats with a goal and two assists each. Tyler Basham was PoMo’s other marksman.
