Sports according to Will as of 9am Saturday
WHL
Kamloops Blazers: 6 vs Prince George Cougars: 5 (OT)
It was a wild one in the CN Centre last night.
A gassed looking Cougars team surrendered 4 goals on 12 shots in the first period – 3 on Ty Young, one on Tyler Brennan.
The rest of the game was a different story, as they would score 5 of the games next 6 goals, including three in the third period to force an overtime.
The comeback was cut short by a Koehn Ziemmer tripping penalty in overtime, which Kamloops’ Fraser Minten took full advantage of.
These two teams will rematch tonight at 6:00 for the Teddy Bear Toss game.

Prince George Spruce Kings: 3 vs Nanaimo Clippers: 2 (OT)
The Spruce Kings and Cougars’ games were near mirror images of each other – just to less of an extreme.
The Kings carried a 2-0 lead into the second period, but two quick and early goals from Nanaimo forced an overtime.
Luca Primerano was the Kings’ overtime hero, scoring under 1:30 into extra time, packing two points with them back onto the bus.
They will play in Chilliwack tonight for their final game before the Christmas break at 6:00.
