Beaver Valley outshot Nelson 43- 24 and get a 3-1 home ice win against Nelson. BV's Talon Kramer and Nelson's Jason Sanhu were the Players of the Game in net. Before the game Nelson's Head Coach had this to say in the local paper. Looks like fun this year with these two teams.

“There’s always incentive to beat Beaver Valley for a number of reasons . . . none more than attitude,” DiBella explained.

“At the end of the we all need to answer to a code of conduct which I don’t always agree transpires in (Beaver Valley). So from a personal level it would do me great service to see us win every time we play BV this year.”

Kamloops gets a 6-0 win at home vs Sicamous. Aris Anagnostopoulos  gets the shutout. Kamloops only had 15 skaters Kole Comin had 2 goals.
