With their two pre-season wins tucked under their belts, the Victoria Junior Shamrocks will now focus on their regular season, which begins at home on April 27.
鈥淭he boys looked good [Wednesday] night again. Both games they have shown a lot of foot speed, a lot of hustle and I鈥檓 very pleased with the goaltending in both as well,鈥� said Jr. Shamrocks general manager Rod Wood.
Cody Hagedorn, Derek Anderson and Charles Claxton have all played a period each in net in both games.
The Jr. Rocks dumped the Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen 11-7 on Wednesday in Chemainus and also beat the Nanaimo Sr. B Timbermen 12-5 on Saturday at Bear Mountain Arena.
Over the two outings, the Jr. Shamrocks have had offensive production from Czech product Dominik Pesek, who had three goals and four assists; Chris Wardle, two goals and five assists; Devan Casey, four goals and three assists; Dane Schoor, one goal and five helpers; Max Fredrickson, three goals and two assists; and Jake Cullen, who had five goals.
鈥淛ake is a first-year junior off our Intermediate A team last year. He鈥檚 a big kid with good hands and a lot of his goals in those two games were opportunistic,鈥� said Wood, whose team gets back to practice Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation for the league and home-opener next Saturday at 5 p.m. versus New Westminster.
