Sockeyes are Cyclone Taylor Cup champions
Home ice has its advantages.
As hosts of the 2018 Cyclone Taylor Cup, the
Richmond Sockeyes were given a second chance. They made the most of it.
Turning the table on the Delta Ice Hawks, the
team that eliminated them from the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs just
over a month ago, the Sockeyes posted back to back wins over their league
rivals in less than 24 hours. First, just to reach the final, they came up with
a gut check 5-3 win over the Ice Hawks Saturday night. Then on Sunday
afternoon, with 800 fans squeezed into venerable Minoru Arena, they again
defied the odds. Down 1-0 midway through the first period, the Sockeyes turned
to their captain FOR guidance. And as he did consistently throughout the
season, Tyler Andrews delivered.
In his final junior game, Andrews scored
twice and set up another to lead the Sockeyes to an emphatic 5-1 win. He was
the obvious choice as winner of the tournament MVP award.
