The Northwest Giants picked up three of a possible four points from the Valley West Hawks in B.C. major midget hockey last weekend.
The Burnaby Winter Club-based midgets clipped the Hawks 5-3 at home on Saturday, before skating to a 2-2 tie in Langley on Sunday.
Kevin Wong, Austin McQuay, Nash Dabb, Josh Latta and captain Keegan Jones all tallied single goals for the Giants in the Saturday win.
Affiliate Kyle Kaufman picked up his first goal for the Giants, while Jones also tallied his team-high 14th goal in the draw.
This weekend, the major midget league will hold its Showcase Weekend at the Richmond Oval.
The Giants will take on the North Island Silvertips at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday and 8:15 p.m. on Sunday.
Changes coming
B.C. Hockey is bringing changes to team catchment areas for next season.
The major midget league, which unsuccessfully floated boundary movements prior to last season, announced similar changes Tuesday.
Specific postal codes in east Burnaby and all of New Westminster will now fall under the Northeast Chiefs’ catchment area.
West Burnaby will remain within the Giants’ catchment.
Other shifts in team boundaries include Langley going to the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds from the Valley West Hawks, North Delta relocating to the Hawks from Greater Vancouver and 100 Mile House to Thompson Blazers from Cariboo. Cowichan Valley will also be split between the two North and South Island teams.
ID camps will be held in the spring.
