They only had one game on the weekend, but the Jasper Homes Hounds made it count.
The Medicine Hat midget AA hockey team didn’t let up in a 10-1 win over the Central Alberta Selects Saturday at the Kinplex, beginning a five-game homestand on the right note.
Nate Hoffman made 22 saves, taking his shutout bid into the third period with the score already well out of hand.
Caleb Irvine led with four assists, while Cameron Hall, Callen Prosofsky and Ty Moore each had a goal and two helpers. Brady Dovichak and Cayden Dumanowski each had two goals while Mason Mowat, Vaughn Strutt and Connor Miller had the other goals.
The Hounds don’t play a league game again until Nov. 22, owing largely to the Hockey Hounds bantam AAA tournament which runs Nov. 14-17.
