The hot hand of Felix Caron helped the West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç Warriors get back in the win column on Saturday night in Cranbrook.

Caron’s eighth and ninth goals of the season sandwiched Brennan Nelson’s fourth goal of the year as the Warriors were up 3-0 after the first period.

Cranbrook stormed back with two goals in the second period by Noah Urness and Luke Pfoh to make it a one goal game.

The Bucks tied the game in the third period when Loke Södergren scored 5:42 in into frame. But the tie only lasted 18 seconds as Jackson Kyrkostas scored his sixth of the season for the Warriors in what ended up being the game-winning goal, 4-3.

Caron also had an assist in the game, finishing with a three-point night while Nelson, and Dylan Brooks each had multi-point nights.

Matthew Dellarusso made 26 saves in the win for West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç.

With the win, the Warriors are now 9-3-1, sitting second in the BCHL’s Interior Conference.

Caron was named the BCHL’s first star of the week for Oct. 18-25. He had three goals and an assist in two games this week, to earn the nod. In his last five games, he has nine points and leads the Warriors with 17 points in 13 games this season.

The Warriors are back in action on Friday night (Nov. 3) when they had down the Okanagan Connector to take on the Merritt Centennials. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena.
