Tigers’ Svejkovsky advances to second round at Memorial eCup

By Medicine Hat News on December 1, 2020.

Medicine Hat Tigers forward Lukas Svejkovsky punched his ticket to the Memorial eCup’s second round with a 7-1 victory over guest competitor Zach Hodder on Saturday.

Hodder – a WHL graduate who played for five different teams, including the Tigers – opted to compete as the Vancouver Giants, but couldn’t knock Svejkovsky off his game in a lopsided affair.

Former Tigers defenceman Trevor Longo – now with the Giants – also won his opener Saturday with a 4-0 victory over Max McCue of the London Knights.

Svejkovsky now awaits his second-round opponent. The first round of the 64-team e-sports hockey tournament continues Wednesday.
