Their continuing win streak has pushed the Aldergrove Kodiaks to the top of the Pacific Junior Hockey league standings.

A 4-2 win over the Delta Ice Hawks Wednesday at Aldergrove Arena improved the Kodiaks to 20 points for 10 wins in 13 games. The Abbotsford Pilots and Grandview Steelers follow close behind at 19 and 18 points, respectively, and both teams have a game in hand.

The Hawks scored first on a power play in the first period, but the Kodiaks responded and dominated in the second and third periods.

Kodiaks Kurt Klimek scored unassisted early in the second before the Hawks responded with their second and last goal. Kodiaks Quinncy Leroux evened it up at 17:15 in the second, assisted by Joshua Poitras and Matt Oliver.

In the third Kodiaks Kyle Bosko scored at 1:05, assisted by Elijah Vilio. Later in the period Vilio scored one of his own on a power play, assisted by Oliver and Klimek, for the 4-2 win.

First, second and third stars were Bosko, Klimek and Oliver, respectively.

The Kodiaks outshot the Hawks 31-24 that night. Kodiaks keeper Dawson Rodin stopped 22 of those shots.

The Kodiaks get to set for a week before hosting North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Arena. Following that the Kodiaks travel to Maple Ridge to play the Flames, Friday, Oct. 28.
