SUNDAY - GRIZZ CAMP, ENERFLEX CUP, WHL RESULTS, MacKENZIE CUP & JUNIOR 'B' PROVINCIALS

GRIZZ BACK IN THE CAVE

The Olds Grizzlys' Spring Camp continues today.

On Friday the Grizzlys and prospects alike focused on skill development while also playing in a tournament style play-down.

The 'A' Final of said play-down goes from the Sportscomplex today at 2:00 PM.

Galen Hartviksen (Play by Play Voice of the Grizzlys) took in yesterday's action and informed me that a team coached by Grizzlys Grinder Sean Neumier upset Jordan Kwas' and Frank Carbonaro's team.

All in all it sounds like the kids are having fun at the Camp and we'll have a full break down tomorrow.
______________________________
ONE WIN AWAY. . .

The Grande Prairie Storm are a single win away from pulling off a shocking upset over the Spruce Grove Saints.

Brett Cameron and Jordan Draper scored for the Saints in the first period but three third period goals scored by Matt Williams, Dennis Rix and Blake Clement for the Storm would give Grande Prairie a 3-2 win on home ice and a 3 games to none series lead over the Saints in the AJHL's final.

Former Grizzly Goalie Chad Carder made 24 saves in the win while after sitting in Game 2 of the series Travis Rolheiser made 35 saves in the loss.

Game 4 goes tonight.
