West Van
takes Juvenile B title |

After winning their
first game 5-4 the night

‘before on Burnaby ice,
. the West Van Juvenile

B team made it two ina
row, taking a stunning
come-from-behind ov-
ertime victory from
Burnaby Minor Friday
night at the West Van
Arena to capture the

Zone 1 PCAHA
Juvenile B Cham-
_ pionship.

After falling behind 3-0
midway into the first period,
the West Van team scored
four unanswered goals—the
winner coming only 55
seconds into the first sudden
death overtime period, when
Scott Orr picked up Dave
Luscombe’s pass at mid ice
and slapped home the
winning goal from inside the
Burnaby blue line.

Burnaby went on the
attack from the opening
whistle with some aggressive
forechecking that led to their

first goal 22 seconds into the:

period, followed ‘by their
second at 1:16, and their
thitd and final goal of the
night at 8:17.

Al Forster got the West
Van team going at 12:47 of
the first period, picking up a
rebound in front of Burnaby
net and scoring on the
backhand with Rex Biedler
and Pete Meidal drawing
assists.

West Van’s second goal
came -on the power play at

8:24 of the second period
when Steve Drummond

goal, also on the power play,
from Meidal and Orr, to send
the game into sudden death

slap shot from outside the
face-off circle that caught the
top corner of the net.
