The last week of January was a wild one for the Sicamous Eagles with two wins and two losses.
On Jan. 26 the Eagles saw the first of the two wins when they trounced guests the North Okanagan Knights 6-1.
The Eagles dominated scoring in the first and second frames with Andrew Nunn rippling the mesh late in the first period, assisted by Corbin Marcotte and Brad Robinson. Robinson and Mark Arnold each lit the lamp in the second frame, with assists going to Nunn, Jamie Gallo, Kenneth McKay and Dominick Hodges. Hodges found the back of the net early in the third period, with help from Arnold and Marcotte. After a Knights goal, Brad Robinson and Steven Powers followed suit, aided by Nunn, Gallo, Hodges and Arnold.
Robinson received first-star honours, Nunn second and Arnold third.
On Jan. 28 the Eagles lost 5-4 in a nail-biter against the host Revelstoke Grizzlies. Sicamous goals came from Easton Bodeux in the second frame, and Brad Robinson, David Harrison (unassisted) and Brad Crump in the third. Assists went to Hodges, Jung Ahn and Jean-Luc Fournier. Bodeux received third-star honours.
On Jan. 29 the Eagles showed up hosts the Kamloops Storm with a hard-fought 8-5 victory.
Kamloops was first on the board about midway through the first period. Sicamous’ Brock McDonald replied minutes later with a power play goal, aided by David Harrison. Robinson and Jacob Santurbano gave Sicamous a 3-2 lead going into the second period.
Sicamous dominated the second half of period two, matching the three goals scored by Kamloops in the first half with markers from Ahn, Steven Powers and Drew Nikirk.
Harrison and Jamey Kreller put in the only goals of the third frame. First and second star honours went to Harrison and Powers, respectively.
The month ended for on a low note, with a 4-1 loss in a Jan. 30 away contest against the Grizzlies. Sicamous’ single came at the end of the third frame from Marcotte.
The Eagles are back on home ice tonight, Feb. 2, to take on the Storm. Game time 7 p.m.
