Major midget Blazers lose twice to Okanagan Rockets

Jan 21, 2019 | 7:48 AM

KAMLOOPS — The Thompson Blazers kept Sunday’s game close, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a weekend sweep against the Okanagan Rockets. 

The Kelowna-based team scored twice late in the third period to squeak out a 5-4 win on Sunday afternoon at the Sandman Centre. 

Logan Stankoven had two goals to bring his season total to 38, including the go-ahead 4-3 goal in the third. The Rockets scored twice in 2:22, including the game-winner with 2:47 left to pull out the road victory. 

Sunday’s loss was a bounce back effort of sorts following a lobsided 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Rockets in Kelowna on Saturday afternoon. 

After the Rockets opened the scoring, Brendan Moseley tied the game. Okanagan proceeded to score eight straight goals to wrap up the blow out.
