The Creston Valley Thunder Cats had plenty to be merry about this Christmas, they hadn’t lost a game since late November. Along the way they beat the first place club Fernie Ghostriders twice, the third place club Golden Rockets (who are chasing Creston in the standings), Beaver Valley Nitehawks, Kamloops Storm and a few more. “The timing couldn’t be better for us, going back to November it seemed like every day a new player had an injury but once we hit December all injured players came back at once. Combining that with recent acquisition Brandon Formosa the team got the results we wanted.”

Now in the new year the team plans to improve their play in certain situations, most importantly special teams.

“Going through the statistics we are above average on the penalty kill-which is a result of the passion of hard working players, but on the power play we are below the league average and this is something we intend to improve upon.”
