BCHL & OPJHL Update

Kyle Turris put Burnaby on his back this weekend, but they have only come up winners in one of two games so far, with another to be played tonight. Friday night Turris had a hat trick AND a playmaker with an extra assist left over (3 goals, 4 assists). As you might imagine, he was named First Star of the Game. Burnaby won that game 8-4 over Victoria with Turris having a hand in seven out of the eight goals. Last night Burnaby fell by a score of 3-2 to Vernon with Turris scoring both goals for Burnaby and being named Second Star of the Game. Tonight they will face Powell River.

Scott Gudmandson and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks got two wins this weekend. Salmon Arm downed Merritt on Friday 5-4 in overtime with Gudmandson stopping 34 of 38. Saturday Gudmandson was not nearly as sharp stopping only 13 of 16, but Salmon Arm got the win again 7-3 over Penticton.

Brendan Smith had an assist in St. Michael's 5-4 loss to Markham in the OPJHL Playoffs Friday night.

Cody Goloubef scored a goal in Oakville's 3-2 victory over Hamilton in the OPJHL Playoffs Friday night.
