The Northwest Giants took a hit in B.C. major midget hockey last week.
After climbing back into second place in the 11-team loop, the Giants managed just one point in last weekend’s two-game series with the Northeast Chiefs.
The two teams skated to a 7-7 draw at Planet Ice in Coquitlam on Saturday, before the Giants fell 5-3 at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday morning.
Team captain Keegan Jones paced the Giants with a total of four goals and two assists in weekend play, including two goals and a helper on Josh Latta’s game-opening tally in Sunday’s loss.
Desi Burgart and Nash Dabb also potted a pair of goals apiece in the Saturday opener, while Justin Wilson pitched in with a goal and two helpers.
The Giants are at home to the Thompson Blazers this weekend.
