FLAMES GOAL SCORING WOES CONTINUE AT ASSINIBOIA
4/13/2002 - Sports Link Manitoba

The Nelson House Flames lost their only game on Friday at the Keystone Cup Western Canadian Junior "B" Hockey Championships in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan.

For the second straight game, the Flames failed to generate offense as they were downed 4-0 by the previously winless Saskatoon Chiefs of the North-Saskatchewan Junior "B" Hockey League. Unfortunately, game detail from the tournament centre was unavailable.

Meanwhile, the host Assiniboia Southern Rebels ran into a hot goaltender in settling for a 2-2 tie with the Sicamous Eagles. Scott Bowles kicked out 39 Rebel Shots to secure the tie; although it was Tyler Selk that was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Selk had one of the two Rebel goals.

In other games, Jeff Knapp made 47-saves as Aguasabon managed a 4-4 tie with Spruce Grove despite being outshot 51-17.

The Regals later in the day topped the Eagles by a 5-3 score. That improves their record to 3-0-and-1. The Eagles fall to 1-1-and-1.

The late game featured the host Rebels and the River Rats; but no score was available.
