The Podollan Inn Peewee tier two Silvertips visited West Kelowna on Saturday, to face the Warriors.
Colby Feist, Ty Sanford and Mason Balon were a force for the ’Tips, as they dominated the game with their quick transitions and tape-to-tape passing.
Balon charged down the wing with the puck taking it behind the net, and leaving it for Feist to complete the wraparound. A few minutes later, Balon set up Sanford for the tap-in. Feist would return the favor in the second period, dropping the puck to Balon for a hard blast, giving the ’Tips a 4-2 lead midway through the game. The Warriors clawed their way back into the game in the third to get the game within one. Feist would steal the puck at the blue line and head in on a breakaway before out waiting the Westside netminder and slipping the puck into the back of the net. Unfortunately for the ’Tips, the Warriors would net another and then tie it up late in the third to finish the game at 6.
Sunday, the Silvertips headed across the bridge for a morning tilt against Kelowna. Marino Bordin would open the scoring for the ’Tips. Salmon Arm surrendered a shorthanded marker tying the game at one. Colby Feist gave Salmon Arm the edge heading into the first intermission, restoring their one-goal lead. After Kelowna tied the game early in the second, Mason Balon would pot his first of the game up over the goalie’s shoulder. Balon scored his second of the game and his ninth point of the weekend, giving the Silvertips the 5-4 win.
