The Kamloops Storm got one over the 100 Mile House Wranglers during their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League on Dec. 1. Kamloops got the better of their northern neighbours 3-0.
Brett Mero started the scoring with a powerplay goal near the end of the second period. Yewta Plamondon scored in the mid-third, and again with only 12 seconds left.
The Wranglers outshot Kamloops 33 to 29 but struggled to get on the board due to the play of Kamloops’ goalie, Jakob Drapeau, who was named as his team’s player of the game.
