Don Schulz says his TRU WolfPack’s victory over the Simon Fraser University Clan was a statement game.
“This is a great confidence booster,” said the Pack’s head coach, whose charges moved into a tie for first place in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) ranks with a 3-1 triumph over hometown SFU in Burnaby on Saturday, Jan. 11.
“It is a game that I really wanted. It can really set us up for the whole term. It’s a statement for the rest of the league that we are for real.”
Memorial Arena will be the stage for a pair of TRU tilts this weekend — with Selkirk College of Castlegar in town on Friday, Jan. 17, and Trinity Western University of Langley visiting Kamloops on Saturday, Jan. 18.
Game times at the venerable barn are 8:30 p.m. on Friday and 8 p.m. on Saturday.
WolfPack netminder Stephen Wolff, who made 23 saves in the win over SFU, was named the BCIHL’s player of the week on Monday, Jan. 13. He has posted four consecutive victories.
TRU is 10-5 on the campaign.
