91Ô­´´ 91Ô­´´ end year with public skate at last home game

Team tradition at George Preston

91Ô­´´ 91Ô­´´ wrapped up 2024 with a public skate for fans after their final home game of the year, then followed it up by going on the road for their very last outing, recording a 3-2 loss at home to Victoria, and a 4-3 win against Chilliwack.

Here's how the games went:

Following a two-week hiatus for the Christmas break, 91Ô­´´ and Victoria Grizzlies met for the second time this season on Saturday afternoon, Dec 28.

91Ô­´´ got the scoring going when Jackson Krill converted his own rebound in front for his fifth goal of the season with 8:24 gone in the first period on the power play.

2:24 later, Julian Cull tied the game for Victoria on a shot from the slot, with 9:12 to go in the first period, and that’s where it would stand until the second period.

91Ô­´´ had a pair of power play opportunities midway through the second, but the Grizzlies would kill it off, and would convert on a 5 on 3 opportunity tap in to make it 2-1 Victoria with 4:56 to go in the middle frame.

Ethan Merner scored his 12th of the season on a power play with 8:30 gone in the third period, and 91Ô­´´ would try to get themselves into the lead, but it was the Grizzlies who scored the winning goal with 1:38 to go.

Following the game, young fans put their skates on for some on-ice encounters with their favourite players, a 91Ô­´´ tradition.

Sunday, Dec. 29, 91Ô­´´ made a trip out to the Chilliwack Coliseum for the third time this season.

Chilliwack took the lead at 2:18 into the game, Dakota MacIntosh would fire a puck into the 91Ô­´´ net to give the Chiefs a 1-0 lead.

Two quick goals less than two minutes apart  by the 91Ô­´´ made it 2-1, with Jackson Krill scoring his sixth of the season shorthanded on a feed from Zachary Benayon, then Henry Butte got his second of the season on a feed from Dalton MacGillivray behind the Chilliwack net.

A minute and a half later, the Chiefs tied it up.

Early in the second period, Benayon would score his second of the season to make it 3-2 for 91Ô­´´, followed by Ryan Schelling's  20th goal of the season.

Moments after the 4-2 91Ô­´´ goal, Chilliwack cut the lead to 4-3 on a one timer stemming from a power play opportunity, but that was as close they came.

Heading into 2025, 91Ô­´´ stand seventh in the 10-team BCHL Coastal Conference with a record  of 14 wins and 17 losses this season, including four overtime losses and one shootout loss.

91Ô­´´ is at home for a pair next weekend, hosting the Chiefs on Friday, and Saturday the Surrey Eagles pay a visit.

Friday is the annual Ronin Sharma night, with all 50/50 proceeds going towards the Sharma Foundation.
