The Jasper Atom Bears had their first road trip of the season and came out on top.
First stop was Riviere Qui Bar against the CR Knights and the final score of this game was ten to two with hat tricks for #7 Max Lescard and #20 Ethan Gibbons.
There was a beautiful play between cousins #4 Dustin and #6 Mathew Derksen resulting in a goal for Mathew and an assist for Dustin, giving Dustin three points in the game.
A third goal scorer in the cousin circle was #14 Carson Miller. This defenseman is unstoppable, when he gets the puck he flies down the ice.
Game 2 in Athabasca was a little more challenging for the team but a goal by #4 Dustin Derksen in the first 25 seconds set the tone.
The team is really progressing in their ability to play as a team and set up some nice plays.
This could be seen in a team effort by #9 Louis Campeau and #5 William Strugnall and #20 Ethan Gibbons which resulted in the first goal of the third period.
The goal was followed by a nice pass from #77 Grayden Henderson to #4 Dustin Derksen for the successful shot and there was one final breakaway by #14 Carson Miller, making the final score eight to four.
