Nanaimo is currently the highest scoring team in the BCHL with 111 goals.

Patterson admits the team is watching the standings with fourth place Nanaimo poised to catch both Victoria and Alberni Valley with a strong showing before the Christmas break.

Nanaimo sits one point back of the Grizzlies and two points behind the Bulldogs.

“The potential we see with this team offensively we think we can be a top team in this league. Going into the second half cleaning up a few things defensively the sky is the limit with this group.”

Nanaimo wraps up the pre-Christmas schedule with road games in Coquitlam, Langley and Merritt.

Patterson said the Clippers will be taking a business like approach to those games.

“We’re going to have to be pros. It will trickle down from the staff. We’re not thinking about the holidays we’re just thinking about the next game.”

CLIP NOTES:

Noah Alvarez is on a three game point streak for the Clippers with five points in that span. He also had a one goal and two assist effort in his last outing against Victoria.

Both Michael Murtagh and Willyam Gendron enter the week in the top 5 in BCHL scoring. Murtagh is third with 32 points and Gendron is fifth with 31 points.
