A five-goal second period sent the Aldergrove Kodiaks to a lopsided victory on Sunday afternoon.

The junior B hockey club broke open a 2-0 game with that big period en route to a 9-0 pounding of the Grandview Steelers on Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club.

The victory was the fourth straight for Aldergrove as they have out-scored their foes 29-6 over that span since losing their Pacific Junior Hockey League season opener.

Adam Callegari led the attack with two goals and three assists, while Stephen Ryan (two goals, two assists), Kenny Prato (one goal, three assists) and Jackson Waniek (one goal, three assists) had four-point games.

Ryan Simpson, Joshua Poitras and Scott McHaffie each had one goal.

The Kodiaks were lethal on the power play, converting four of their six man advantage chances.

Goaltender Cole MacInnes stopped all 33 shots he faced.

The Kodiaks will look to make it five straight when they host the Port Moody Panthers on Sept. 25 at the Aldergrove Arena.

Kodiaks win third straight

A big first period sent the Aldergrove Kodiaks to their third-straight victory.

The Kodiaks pumped home four goals — including a pair 22 seconds apart — in a 5-2 win over the Mission City Outlaws.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League game was played on Sept. 19 at the Mission Leisure Centre.

It improved the junior B Kodiaks to 3-1-0-0.

Spencer McHaffie scored twice, while Stephen Ryan, Jackson Wannick and Quinncy Leroux had the other Aldergrove goals.

The Kodiaks scored three times with the man advantage.

Scott McHaffie had three assists while Roshen Jaswal had a pair of helpers.

Jonathan Philley and Cameron Bertsch were the only Outlaws players to get pucks past Tate Sproxton. The rookie was coming off a shutout and made 24 saves in the win.

Since losing their season opener, the Kodiaks out-scored their opponents 20-6 in winning three straight.

Flames flicker against Kodiaks attack

There was no rookie learning curve for Aldergrove Kodiaks goaltender Tate Spraxton.

Playing his first junior B hockey game, Spraxton stopped all 34 shots he faced in a 6-0 victory over the visiting Ridge Meadows Flames.

The junior B hockey rivals played on Sept. 18 at the Aldergrove Arena.

After a scoreless and tight checking first period, the Kodiaks erupted for five goals in the middle stanza, including four goals in a seven-minute span.

They tacked on a sixth goal in the third period.

The team was led by a pair of goals from Spencer Unger, while Spencer McHaffie, Kenny Prato, Stephen Ryan and Elvis Jansons scored once apiece. Jackson Waniek chipped in with two assists.

The victory improved Aldergrove to 2-1-0-0 in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
