Jamernik scores three as Bandits obliterate Grizzlys 10-1
BROOKS, AB – It was an avalanche of offence as 14 different Brooks Bandits (30-11-1) got at least a point in a 10-1 domination of the Olds Grizzlys (15-26-1) Friday night at the Centennial Regional Arena.
The win was the Bandits’ third in a row, as forward Louis Jamernik (Calgary, AB) had a four point night, including his first AJHL hat-trick, while goaltender Connor Dochuk (Edmonton, AB) made 21 saves in his Bandit debut.
After a scoreless opening 11 minutes, the Bandits struck first. Jamernik accepted a feed from debuting teammate Mack Hancock (Kingston, ON) and stuffed a backhand shot home past starting goalie Branden Bilodeau. However, Olds responded just over a minute later as forward Josh Borynec pounced on a rebound and scored on the powerplay to make it 1-1.
With 1:19 left in the first, Brooks re-took the lead. Defenceman Jakob LaPointe (Leduc, AB) set up Pierre-Anthony Martineau (Sherbrooke, QC) in the right circle, who shot the puck on net. The rebound came to forward Simon Boyko (Mississauga, ON), who poked in his 13th of the year.
