By Boundary Sentinel
The Grand Forks Border Bruins had the offence running all cylinders as the Boundary City squad scored 13 goals in two Kootenay International Junior Hockey League games to move into sole possession of top spot in the Murdoch Division.

Haney finished the game with four points while Chad Grambo had three.
Anthony Galliart, fresh from serving a suspension, stopped 33 of 35 shots to register the victory in goal.
Friday, the sonic boom heard over Castlegar was the Bruins offence exploding for three goals to snap a 3-3 tie against the Rebels.
