Jovan Kheleh earned player of the game honours as the Langley goaltending came through with 45 saves.
“The boys had a great start to the tournament and played hard right to the end,” said head coach Darcy Pinch. “As a coaching staff, it’s definitely something we preach and hopefully we can continue to build on it throughout the season.”
