May 21, 2025 | 10:12 AM

The Brooks Bandits will look to bounce back Wednesday night after dropping a 5-4 decision to the Chilliwack Chiefs in double overtime on Tuesday.

The BCHL finals remains in Chilliwack for Game 4 with the Chiefs up 2-1 in the series.

Bandits goaltender Zach Zahara turned aside 46 shots in the loss, while forward Parker Lalonde netted a hat trick for the Bandits.

A video review took away what would have been another Lalonde goal for the Bandits in the first overtime period with officials ruling their was goaltender interference.

Over 13 minutes into the second overtime period Chiefs captain Mateo Mrsic scored his second of the game to give Chilliwack the win.
