Doyle Cup: Game 3 Vernon 2 Grande Prairie 1

Connor Jones opened the scoring shorthanded unassisted at 6:58 but just seconds later, Carter Rowney on the powerplay at 7:36 would tie the hockey game, Morgan MacLean would collect the lone assist. Sahir Gill on his birthday would score the game winner at 8:42 in the 2nd period to give the Vipers the 2-1 lead. Grande Prairie would pour on the pressure in the final period but couldn’t score the game tying goal. Andrew Hammond made his biggest save of the night with just minutes remaining in the hockey game to preserve the Vipers victory. Hammond would make 32 saves in the win. Chad Carder would make 35 saves in the loss. Vernon is just now one win away from clinching their 6th Doyle Cup Championship.

3 Stars:

1st Star: Sahir Gill
2nd Star: Connor Jones
3rd Star: Chad Carder
