The Yale Secondary hockey academy’s under-16 boys team went undefeated at a Canadian Sport School Hockey League showcase tourney in Pitt Meadows on the weekend.
The Lions won a trio of games vs. the Edge, Compete and Banff hockey academies on Saturday, and wrapped up the event with a 5-0 victory over Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday. Along the way, both of Yale’s goalies – Liam McCloskey and Brandon Kruger – registered shutouts.
“Our kids executed our game plan perfectly,” coach Brad Bowen said. “We were physical, our tempo was high, and we had contributions from everyone on our team.”
