At play on Family Day
The cozy confines of NorWest Arena will be the site of a Family Day matinee match this afternoon when the Kam River Fighting Walleye plays host to the Dryden Ice Dogs in a 1:30 start at the Fish Tank.
Winners of 17 straight games and in first place in the Superior International Jr. Hockey League with 55 points from a record of 27-3-1, Kam River got two goals from Holden Woodcroft, 37 saves from Austin Madge and a decisive shootout marker from Jeremy Dunmore to eke out a 3-2 victory over the visitors from Dryden on Sunday night. Ondrej Bardos and Tristan Takats replied for third place Dryden, which now has 38 points from a record of 18-10-2.
Woodcroft now has five goals, four assists, nine points in five games for Kam River since coming over from the Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League at the 2022 trade deadline.
