Samuel Leonard and Jacob Terpstra led the way with hat tricks, Lenny Greenberg scored twice while Mattias Myllykoski and Braden Blace added singles. The Bulldogs had a two game winning streak snapped Saturday when they blew a two-goal lead with five minutes to play in a 6-4 loss to the Coquitlam Express. Jimmy Lyver, Jacob Terpstra, Fischer O’Brien and Mason Croucher scored. The Bulldogs visit the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday night, and host the Merritt Centennials for their Teddy Bear Toss Saturday night.

The Port Alberni Bombers lost 4-1 on the road to the Peninsula Panthers on Friday night. Owen Ditzel had the lone goal. They visit the Victoria Cougars on Thursday night, and the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Sunday night.

Alberni District Secondary School Wrestling team kicked off the season with a win at the Island Novice Wrestling Championships in Nanaimo on Saturday.  ADSS finished the tournament with 100 team points.  Second place Ucluelet Secondary had 54 and Queen Margarets finished third with 50 points.  The tournament marks the official start of the competitive wrestling season.

The individual placings for ADSS wrestlers are as follows:

1st Place

• Jr Female 67kg Abigail Sylvester
• Jr Male 41kg Kellen Hiltz
• Jr Male 49kg David Chandler
• Jr Male 58kg Seth Romeril

2nd Place

• Jr Male 41kg Evan Jimenez
• Jr Male 58kg Griffin Messenger

3rd Place

• Jr Female 52kg Holly Coatta
• Jr Female 52kg Kamryn Mallon
• Jr Male 49kg Alex Chen
• Jr Male 56kg Jackson Price

The Novice tournament is intended for athletes who are relatively new to the sport and there are restrictions as to who can compete.  As a result, a number of the more senior Alberni wrestlers participated in the tournament as referees and a few took the weekend off to rest.

ADSS Wrestling Coach Maureen Miller gave her thoughts on the tournament, “It was great to have the opportunity to get some of our less experienced wrestlers into competition this weekend, they wrestled tough, and we are excited to see them progress over the course of the season”

Wrestlers will be right back on the mats training this week in preparation for the Queen Margaret’s Christmas Classic in Duncan on December 9^th.  ADSS will be sending their full roster of wrestlers.
