Canlan 8Rinks hosted Adult Safe Hockey League playoffs last week at its Burnaby rink on Sprott Street.

Burnaby’s Jack Yaremko did some yeoman work pitching as well as providing a clutch bat at first base in helping the Coquitlam-Moody Reds to a silver medal at the Canadian national peewee AAA baseball championships in Repentigny, Que.

Yaremko, 13, plated two runs in the team’s 7-2 victory over Team Alberta in the round-robin, and scored twice and picked up the win over Team Quebec2 in an 18-6 triumph.

He also walked and came around to score in the Reds’ 4-2 loss to eventual champion Lanaudiere.
