Trackers score early and often in routing Grande Prairie Storm

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. —  Fort St. John’s entry into the Alberta Elite Hockey League’s (AEHL) U-15 division continues to dominate this season.

The North East U-15 Trackers stretched their winning streak to 18 games after another lopsided victory over the Grande Prairie Storm on Sunday, December 14th.

Powered by the strength of four first-period goals, the Trackers cruised to a 9-2 victory at the Pomeroy Sport Centre.

Jace Napoleon opened the scoring for the Trackers on the power play before Grande Prairie tied things up just after the halfway point of the period from a goal by Hayden Harris.

It was then the Trackers – who had 20 shots in the opening period – got goals from Brody Peterson and a pair from Kiptyn Harvey in a four-minute span and led after the first 4-1.

Chase King, Hunter Bahm and Jacob Moskalyk had second-period goals for the Trackers, with Storm forward Ethan Bohay scoring as they trailed 7-2 after two periods. 

A pair of goals from Peterson – who has 45 goals on the year – were the only offence in the final frame, as the Trackers ran their AEHL U-15 North Division lead to six points over Peace River’s Northwest Hockey Club.

It was the final game for the Trackers before heading south on Tuesday morning as the annual Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament – known as KIBIHT – begins this week, according to head coach Ray Taggart.
