Ice thriving on the role of spoiler, gain split against second place Cariboo Cougars

Ice thriving on the role of spoiler, gain split against second place Cariboo Cougars

The Kootenay Ice continues to play the role of spoiler in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

Mitch Foyle of Fruitvale scored twice, including the winner in the third period, as the last-place Ice edge second-place Cariboo Cougars 4-3 Saturday in action at the Kinsman Arena in Prince George.

The win was the second in as many weeks for the Ice as the cellar dwellers, 2-1-1 in the last four games, keep the top teams honest.

Last week Kootenay took three of four points from fourth-place Greater Vancouver Canadians.
