Austin is GOODE!

Rookie sensation Austin Goode showed why he will be a force to be reckoned with in the KIJHL. This past weekend Goode doubled his season point production with a goal on Friday night against Columbia Valley and exploded into the top 20 point getters in the league with a 6 point extravaganza against Summerland in a lopsided Kamloops Storm10-5 victory on Saturday.

Goode had a 3 goal - 3 assists performance giving him 14 points on the season. He joins teamates Jassi Sanga (22pts) and captain Jacob Young (18pts) in the league's top 20 point getters. His 7 goals places him 2nd on the team in goals behind Young.

Austin seems to have a nose around the net, consistently finding rebounds and loose pucks and burying them with catlike quickness. This soon-to-be 17 year old Kamloops native is starting to make a big impact. Playing on a line with Lundy Trenaman and Anthony Collins, Goode and his partners are taking some of the heat off of the first line of Sanga, Young, and Scott Gardner. As opposition teams key in on Sanga's line with their best checkers, the Goode line is free to wheel.

A Gordie Howe Weekend!

Ryan Bullock established himself as one of the premier tough guys in the league. Blessed with a gifted set of hands, Bullock not only is starting to find the net but also set the standard by KO'ing Columbia Valley's Calvin Bohdan with one swat in Friday night's game. Bullock came back on Saturday and contributed with a goal and an assist, doubling his output for the season to 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 games.
