Sports brief: Powell River Regals win in overtime

Senior hockey club halts losing streak at three games

With Andy Welsh’s overtime winner and hat-trick goal, Powell River Regals beat Fuller Lake 5-4 on Saturday, December 3, at Hap Parker Arena.

Regals are playing regularly in a four-team league that includes teams from north and south Vancouver Island and Kelowna.

BC Hockey Association will decide how teams in the newly formed West Coast Senior Hockey League (WCSHL) will playoff to determine who represents the league at the provincial Coy Cup championship in Whitehorse, Yukon, in March 2017. That decision is expected later this month or in January.

With one win, two losses and an overtime loss, Regals sit at the bottom of league standings.

Currently, the teams are playing one game on weekends due to weather and fan bases. WCSHL is working toward a more balanced schedule for next year with more importance placed regular season results.
