Canucks edge Athletics in OT

A pair of games Thursday night in the North Peace Hockey League which was highlighted by a heavyweight showdown in the West division.

The Grande Prairie Athletics hosted the 1st place Dawson Creek Canucks looking to try and gain some ground in the standings.

Grande Prairie held a 3-2 lead going into the final frame, but it would be the Canucks evening the game early in the 3rd which forced OT.

In the extra frame, the Canucks would earn a power play and they took full advantage of the extra skater as Matt Schmermund found the back of the net to give Dawson Creek the road win.
