Capitals split weekend series against Rush in indoor Winter Classic
FORT ST. JAMES – Sunday morning, it was a bright sunny day in Fort St. James. Which caused some issues with the ice at the Ernie Sam Memorial Arena.
But the indoor ice at the Fort Forum proved was just fine for the U18 female Northern Capitals, who defeated the high-powered Fraser Valley Rush 5-4 on Sunday in Fort St. James.
The BC Elite Hockey League game was supposed to be held outside at the Ernie Sam Memorial Arena as part of Winter Classic weekend. Unfortunately, warming temperatures made the ice surface unplayable and the contest had to be moved to the Forum.
In a back-and-forth affair that looked like it might be headed for overtime, Keagan Goulet scored the winner for the Northern Capitals with 3:37 left on the clock. The goal was her second of the game.
