Year-end tourney
The team attended its last tournament in Prince George – the Shane Davis Memorial Atom tournament.
The tournament attracted 20 teams – Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3.
The Sunrise Ford Atom Wranglers played at the Tier 2 level at the request of the Prince George development coaches.
It was definitely a well-suited division for this team, says team spokesperson Kim Mills.
After winning all three games in the round-robin format, the Wranglers lost in a shootout against PG All Points Waste, after one overtime period could not determine a winner.
The Wranglers Most Valuable Players for the tournament were Matthew Keller, Xander Flett, Ethan Mori and Easton Mills.
“It was a great way to end the season,” says Mills.
