Indians within one point of first in NOJHL
by Randy Russon
Soo Indians still have a shot at finishing in first place in the Northern Ontario
Jr. Hockey League.
The Indians moved to within a point of the first-place Sudbury Jr. Wolves
with a 7-2 road win over the North Bay Skyhawks on Sunday evening. Both the Indians and Sudbury
have two games left in the regular season.
Sudbury, with 61 points, is home to Blind River on Wednesday night and at Abitibi
on Saturday. The Indians, with 60 points, wrap up their regular season with a pair of home games at Big Bear Arena, Friday
against North Bay and Saturday vs. Manitoulin.
In the Indians' win over North Bay, captain Isaac Viau and Scott Pulak both
scored twice and Nick Zilka, Ky Moje and Chris Cooper added solo goals in support of goalie Brennan Poderzay, who made 26
saves.
The win for the Indians at North Bay ended a three-year losing streak for the franchise.
The Indians began the weekend by losing 3-1 on the road to Abitibi. Moje
netted the only goal for the Indians.
