The Fort St. John under-11 Pimm’s Production Flyers came out of their season home opener at the Pomeroy Sport Centre with two wins and a loss.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ATLA. — The Fort St. John under-11 flyers brought home bronze from the 44th annual Lloyd Head Tournament in Grande Prairie last weekend.

Flyers head coach Gerard Dicaire said after losing the first game of round-robin play, his team worked hard to “let the puck do the work and started to come together as a group really well.”

“ We lost a nail-biter in the semifinals 7-6 to the Grande Prairie Storm,” said Dicaire.

“But in the bronze game, we went into overtime and eventually needed a shootout. We got the shootout win against the Grand Prairie Knights to win the bronze.”

The Flyers will host their season home opener next weekend at the Pomeroy Sport Centre against Whitecourt at 11:00 a.m.

Later that afternoon, the Flyers take on Peace River at 3:45 p.m.
