Just four games into his tour with the Grandview Steelers, Wyatt Elmer is looking like the glue to the team’s offence.
The 17-year-old forward from Delta
delivered a pointed stick to the eye of his hometown Icehawks on Sunday, scoring twice in Grandview’s 3-1 victory at the Burnaby Winter Club.
He got the ball rolling for the Steelers, opening the scoring 1:27 into the third. Teammate Marc Lafrance increased the lead to 2-0 with a shorthanded marker just four minutes later.
While Delta, which trails Shaw Conference-leading Grandview by four points, made it a one-goal game with just under four minutes left, Elmer salted away the win by scoring into an empty net with four seconds on the clock.
Nico Bruno drew a pair of assists, while netminder Matteo Paler-Chow turned aside 23 shots for the win.
The Steelers, who earlier in the week edged Richmond 3-1, visit Mission on Saturday and host Surrey on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.
