On Monday night a local area father and his son from Whistler made the call for one last run and it ended up being a long one that prompted a Rossland Search and Rescue callout by concerned family members.

It’s hard to always play the role of the comeback kids, just ask the Grand Forks Border Bruins.

Since the beginning of January the B’s have only held the lead in a game for a grand total of one minute and 32 seconds, which has made it very difficult to win hockey games.

And what makes it more difficult for the Bruins to comeback and win games are the leads that Bruins have spotted their five opponents this month.
