Edvin Hasakovic scored the first goal in 91Ô­´´ Trappers’ franchise history as the junior B hockey club won their debut, 4-3.

Hasakovic finished off a two-on-one, taking a cross-ice pass from Joshua Boelema and re-directing the puck past Grandview Steelers goaltender Matteo Petrelli.

The goal came at the 14:12 mark of the first period and came on 91Ô­´´â€™s second shot of the game on Wednesday night at the George Preston Recreation Centre in the Pacific Junior Hockey League regular season opener.

Hollander Thompson doubled the lead with a short-handed marker 97 seconds later and the Trappers took a 3-0 lead after 40 minutes.

91Ô­´´ led 4-1 midway through the third before Grandview scored a pair of late goals.

Hasakovic finished with a pair of goals while Boelema (one goal, one assist) and Carter Graham (two assists) also had multi-point games.

Goaltender Brendan Carew finished with 29 saves for the victory.

91Ô­´´ is back in action tonight (Friday) when they visit the Abbotsford Pilots.
