After an intense hockey practice the Comox Valley Breakers were hoping their bodies would be recovered for a women’s hockey game against the Nanaimo Islanders last week.
The first period featured lots of back and forth action. Megan Canning made some great saves to keep the game at 0-0 until Nanaimo finally snuck one past her. The Breakers looked up at the scoreboard (3-0 for Nanaimo) and realized what they learned at practice was working for them.
In the second period, Marie Sanchez left a beautiful drop pass for Jess Sekulich (Bobbie Norton – Jockey Person to Person, Expedia CruiseShipCenters), to score the Breakers’ first goal. At 4:33 Sadie Horner (assisted by Kourteney Egan) put another goal past Nanaimo’s goaltender to cut the lead to 5-2.
In the third period both goalies were unbeatable as Canning showed off her impressive glove hand.
The Breakers thank their sponsors Boston Pizza, Canadian Tire, Mike Fisher of Royal LePage, Quality Foods, Torry and Sons and their Secret Sponsor, for their generosity and support.
