by MorinvilleNews.com staff

The first weekend in October brought contrasting outcomes for Morinville’s hockey teams, with the
Morinville Junior B Jets celebrating a dominant 10-0 victory against the Strathcona Bruins, while the
Morinville Senior AA Kings faced a challenging home opener against the Westlock Warriors, resulting in
a disappointing 10-0 defeat.

Starting with the Junior B Jets, they showcased their exceptional performance on the road against the
Strathcona Bruins, securing their third victory this season. The Jets, with a commendable record of 3-2-
0, currently sit in second place in the Capital Junior Hockey League’s West Division.

In this game, the Jets were relentless, with Ethan Dechamplain leading the charge. Dechamplain scored
a remarkable three goals, contributing to the team’s 10-0 victory. Notably, the Jets’ dominant
performance was reflected in the shot count, with 59 shots on goal compared to the Bruins’ 35.
Penalties were part of the game, with both teams receiving infractions at various points.

On the other hand, the Morinville Senior AA Kings had a challenging home opener against the Westlock
Warriors at the Morinville Leisure Centre. Unfortunately, Westlock defeated the Kings with a resounding
score of 10-0. The Westlock Warriors wasted no time asserting their dominance, scoring four goals in
the first period alone. Despite a few minor infractions, the game ultimately favored the Warriors, who
had 58 shots on goal compared to Morinville’s 36.

The Kings, now looking to regroup and learn from this challenging home opener, will have the
opportunity to face the Westlock Warriors again on October 14, this time on the road at the Rotary
Spirit Centre. The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

While the Junior B Jets celebrate their impressive victory, the Senior AA Kings will be working hard to
bounce back in their next game and put this setback behind them. Both teams remain committed to
delivering exciting hockey action to their dedicated fans in Morinville.
