Kootenay HA Outlasts Wolves HC in High-Scoring Junior Prospects Clash

The 17U AAA Kootenay HA used a relentless offensive attack to secure a 5-3 victory over the Wolves HC in a game that was closer than the final score suggests. Kootenay set the tone early, outshooting the Wolves 14-7 in the first period and opening the scoring when Carter Vanderloos found the net, assisted by Jacob Rogers. The pressure continued in the second period as Jaxon Derosier and Dylan Bailey scored to give Kootenay a commanding 3-0 lead heading into the final frame, despite both teams trading minor penalties throughout the period.

Refusing to go quietly, the Wolves HC mounted a fierce third-period comeback. Tearin McKeigue got the home team on the board, assisted by Parker Labossiere, and just over three minutes later, Boston Engel scored with help from Jaxon Burkosky-Gilmour to pull the Wolves within a single goal. However, Kootenay's offense responded decisively. Jacob Rogers netted a crucial goal to restore a two-goal cushion, and Colton Loria scored just 25 seconds later to seemingly put the game out of reach. A late goal from Jace Frencheater, assisted by Easton Smallwood, provided a final consolation for the Wolves but it was too little, too late.

The game was marked by physical play and penalties, including a spearing double minor assessed to Kootenay's Dylan Bailey early in the third period. Despite being outshot 39-21, the Wolves managed to keep the game competitive until the final minutes. Kootenay's ability to capitalize on their significant shot advantage and answer the Wolves' comeback attempt with two quick goals proved to be the difference, handing them a hard-fought road victory.
