NWJHL weekend wrap: Kings, Flyers each win pair of games

Sep 30, 2019 | 9:02 AM

The JDA Kings used this past weekend to bounce back from a tough opening to the NWJHL season.

Following two losses to open the new campaign, the Kings posted back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday.

Friday the squad made the short trip up Highway 2, where they held off the Sundown Oilfield Services Sexsmith Vipers for a 4-3 win. Blake Gillingham had a goal and two assists in the win, while Tanner Davy and Justin Rudyk added a goal and an assist each.

Saturday the Kings returned to the Crosslink County Sportsplex, where they posted a 6-3 win over the North Peace Navigators. It was a repeat performance for Gillingham, who scored once and assisted on two others. Davy scored two goals and added a helper as well.

Elsewhere around the league this past weekend, the Fairview Flyers were the only other team to go 2-0 on the weekend. Friday, they edged the Navs at home 3-1. They followed that up with a 5-3 win over Dawson Creek in Tumbler Ridge on Saturday.
