Buccaneers put their heads down and keep winning
NANAIMO — For the Nanaimo Buccaneers, Sept. 19 may have become an important day on their locker room calendar.
The VIJHL ruled the Buccaneers iced an illegal roster for the first two games of the season, hence their opening wins were converted to losses. Divisional rivals Oceanside and Campbell were given the points in the standings, but the points the players earned during those first two games remained in tact.
For such a young team, news of your first two victories in Junior B hockey could come as quite a blow. But it appears head coach Curt Toneff has used the experience to motivate his largely rookie class.
Buccaneers president and new owner Clayton Robinson commented on the situation surrounding the VIJHL ruling.
