Canucks 5 - 2 Flames

The gift is in the wrapping, an old saying goes. Well, for the Burnaby North Vikings, the reward wasn’t necessarily on the scoreboard, but it was every present as the senior girls co-hosted the annual Wildcats-Vikings Showdown last week.

Chalk up another big win for the Burnaby South Rebels. The No. 3-ranked team in B.C.

Four days, six arenas and even more sheets of ice will be just the tip of the iceberg of what’s involved with the fourth annual Pat Quinn Classic, Burnaby’s top minor hockey tournament.

A unique partnership between two clubs has produced one promising skater, and more could be on the way. Yolanda Tan completed her competitive season by winning silver in the juvenile women under-14 division at last month’s B.C.

New names, same games. Both the Canadian Lacrosse Association and Canada Hockey are changing age division names to meet modern standards and more inclusive classifications.

The training and the straining don’t always bring gold, but when they do it’s pretty sweet.

What looked like certain overtime turned into a shocking loss for the Grandview Steelers last week.

Hockey Canada unveiled its lineup for the Spengler Cup, and one of the veterans anchoring the defence is Burnaby native Patrick Wiercioch.

Led by medal results for Ayesha Mian, Clara Scaglione and Logan Stimson, the St. Thomas More girls wresting team finished in a tie with Lillooet Secondary for top honours at last week's SFU War on the Floor, hosted by Coquitlam's Pinetree Secondary.
