It's Game Day! Gold Medal Cyclone Cup Match between Kimberley Dynamiters & Campbell River Storm



The winner of this game advances to the Keystone Cup tournament, competing for the best Junior B hockey team in Western Canada.

When these two teams met, the game was electric and ended in double OT, with Campbell winning 4-3. I am expecting that same intensity for this game.

Campbell River Storm's path to the Gold Medal Game:
  • 6-3 win over North Vancouver Wolf Pack
  • 4-3 (2OT) win over Kimberley Dynamiters
  • 3-2 win over Mission City Outlaws

Kimberley Dynamiters path to the Gold Medal Game:
  • 2-1 win over Mission City Outlaws
  • 4-3 (2OT) loss to Campbell River Storm
  • 5-4 (2OT) win over North Vancouver Wolf Pack

All of Kimberley's games were one-goal games, Campbell river had two games that were decided by one-goal. So this game has the potential of being close.

Suspensions. Kimberley Dynamiters will be short Coy Prevost (1G) due to suspension. Campbell River Storm will be short Reece Costain (1G-1A).

I do wonder if this game will come down to special teams, Kimberley has been near perfect on the PK; while both teams are about the same for PP efficiency.
