Clippers Drop Opening Game At Junior 'C' Hockey Atlantics


The Western Valley Panthers scored twice in the final 10 minutes to earn a 3-2 win over the Chester Clippers at the Atlantic Junior 'C' Hockey Championship. Western Valley scored first to lead 1-0 after the first period, but a power-play goal from Alex Armstrong late in the second notched things at 1-1 going into the third period. Kyle Dilosa added a third period marker to give Chester their first lead of the game with 11 minutes left. The loss puts the Clippers at 0-1 to start the tourney. The Clippers will be back on the ice at 8:30 tonight to play last year's Atlantic runner-up, the Kivilliq Canucks of Nunavut.
