The Delta Hockey Academy ran the table in the Tier 1 division to capture Gold at this year’s KIBIHT, downing Okanagan Hockey Academy 5-3 in the final, thanks to a three goal performance from first year Josh Williams.
But it wasn’t a cakewalk, as OHA opened a 2-0 lead at the end of the first on goals from Ty Kolle and Keltie Jeri-Leon.
The second was a thriller with Delta cutting the lead to 2-1 on a goal from Corson Hopwo, also an ’01, at the mid-way mark, and then tying the game 2-2 on a goal from Williams with 4:32 left.
A minute later OHA regained the lead on a goal from Zach Minaker, but Williams answered almost immediately for Delta, with 2:52 left, to end the scoring for the period, Delta 3 OHA 3.
Williams would notch his third on a power play about five minutes into the period, and two minutes later Brenday Budy, from Williams and Bobby Russell, finished the scoring for the Wild.
Budy finished with 1G-2A, while Luke Zazular and Lach Hadley each contributed 2A.
BRONZE
The Bronze medal game also featured two teams from the Canadian Sports School Hockey League; with Kelowna based Pursuit of Excellence dominating Calgary based Edge Academy Prep, 6-1.
PoE’s Shawn Hark and Eli Zummack each scored twice in the win.
