By CasNews Staff

Kelowna came out on top in the second annual Nov- ice Hockey Tournament over the weekend in Castlegar.

Castlegar’s Team Three placed sixth in the 12-team tourney.

In the A final, Kelowna dumped Beaver Valley 7-1 to capture the champion- ship.

Nelson defeated Lumby 7-3 in the B final, while Castlegar lost to Trail 5-3 in the C final.

Beaudry lost the opening game of the B.C. final Mon- day when Christopherson won 6-5 by drawing the eight-foot with last rock. Beaudry forced a third game when he came back Monday night to win 86.

The deciding game saw Beaudry lead 2-1 after five ends and then steal two on both the sixth and seventh to take a commanding 6-1 lead. Christopherson cut the mar- gin to two after nine ends, but ran out of rocks coming home.
