The Warman Wolverines extended their winning streak to six games this weekend with a 7-2 victory over the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Saturday, October 31.
The local Junior ‘A’ hockey team had begun their winning streak on Saturday, October 10 with a 4-3 overtime victory over Nipawin.
They extended the streak further with a 4-3 shootout victory against the Melville Millionaires on October 16 and a pair of lopsided victories over the Battlefords North Stars on October 17 and October 20.
They also defeated the La Ronge Ice Wolves 6-5 in an October 24 away game.
During the Halloween match-up at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex, the two teams seemed on an even keel in the first period, with both the Wolverines and Ice Wolves notching two goals each.
Both of Warman’s goals were scored by Sawyer Scheidt, assisted by Owen Parks and Jaggar John on the first goal and Jaggar and Ben Morton on the second goal.
From there, however, the Wolverines ran up the score, scoring three goals in the second period and two more in the third.
Morton scored one power play and one regular goal, while Kanyan Unger, Trey Markus and Peyton Allard contributed Warman’s remaining goals.
Assisting the goal-scorers in the second and third periods were Ashton Lee (three times), Benett Leibel (twice), Braden Hordichuk, Markus, Allard and Kayden Yeaman.
The Wolverines also play an away game on Tuesday, November 3 against the Melville Millionaires before travelling to Flin Flon for a pair of away games this Friday and Saturday, November 6-7.
