The Peninsula Minor Hockey Association’s peewee C3 team surged ahead to beat an as yet undefeated team and win the Victoria Christmas Classic Tournament gold medal last week.
Although Juan de Fuca swept the tournament until that final game, the Peninsula boys rocked the matchup, winning 6-3 at Oak Bay Recreation Centre.
Dawson Evans was instrumental in the victory, firing off three for a hat trick. Trey Sjerven’s “amazing” goaltending kept most of the opponents’ shots at bay, contributing to the win, said the team’s co-manager Tracy Zeisberger.
