FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John Senior Flyers were upended by the Valleyview Jets in North Peace Hockey League (NPHL) action on Saturday, January 11th, in Alberta.

Jets’ forward Tyler Wirth had three points, including a pair of goals, as the host team beat Fort St. John by a score of 6-1.

The Flyers’ Lien Miller-Jeannote tied the game two minutes later with an assist by Daylen Pearson.

Valleyview, who had 21 shots in the opening period, re-took the lead on Cade Reber’s second goal of the year.
