Dynamiters fall in five to Grand Forks
The Kimberley Dynamiters’ Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) season has come to an end.
The Nitros dropped another heartbreaking overtime loss (3-2) to the Grand Forks Border Bruins last night at Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. The Bruins sealed the Kootenay Conference final victory four games to one.
Alex Edwards rifled a shot past Dynamiters goalie Josh Hager to advance the Border Bruins to their first Teck Cup championship.
His overtime winner came with 58 seconds remaining in the period. Russell Kosec collected two assists and Eric Kahl was solid in goal with a 29-save performance in front of a crowd of 830.
Jake Briltz (Luke Davies) and Tristan Weill (Remy Spooner) scored for the Dynamiters. Hager finished with 25 saves.
The penalty-killing units for both teams were perfect, with the Dynamiters going six-for-six and the Border Bruins three-for-three.
The Border Bruins opened the scoring on a goal by Levi Astill (Tyler Burke, Russell Kosec) and are 8-0 in the playoffs when scoring first.
Kosec led the Border Bruins with nine points in their series against the Dynamiters, while Nash Wassing led them with five goals.
Grand Forks will meet Revelstoke Grizzlies in the Teck Cup championship. The Grizzlies dispatched the 100 Miles House Wranglers in five games.
