The U18-AAA Cariboo Cougars were victorious, in their first round match-up against the North West Hawks from Vancouver’s north shore. The best-of-three series was a Cougars sweep on home ice in Prince George, although neither game felt to the fans like they were easy wins.
On the Cougars side, the first game was an 8-4 final that seemed much closer, according to the buzz of audience relief when the buzzer sounded. The common complaint was the Cougars kept letting the Hawks claw back to within striking distance. In Game 2 it was even worse, the Hawks scoring a pair of shorthanded goals to carry a 2-0 lead into the second period. The Cougars came back with two of their own, in the second period.
