The Ecofish Couretnay Whalers started off the New Year with a win at home against the Nanaimo Black Ice. Coming off of a 4-1 record at the Apex outdoor hockey tournament a week before; the Whalers continued their winning streak with 4-1 win over Nanaimo on Friday night. The Black Ice was the first to score early in the first period but that would be their one and only goal for the game. Nancy Shields held strong in net and steered away all shots from that point on. Josee Bureau (Flip Flop Shops) was the first of the Whalers to score and tie it up in the first. A goal by Lindsay Neufeld (Brian McLean) assisted by Chanice Van Der Heide (Western Canadian Bank) early in second gave the Whalers the lead. Two goals by Tera Kasubuchi (Ecofish Research Ltd) rounded off the Whalers goals giving them the win! The Ecofish Courtenay Whalers would like to thank the following sponsors for their support: Ecofish Research Ltd, Brian McLean, Flip Flop Shop Nanaimo, Western Canadian Bank.
