The ‘Backs got to
the third round of the playoffs by disposing
of the Penticton Vees in
five games, thanks largely to the superlative play of 20-year-old netminder Kris Moore. Meanwhile, Vernon got by the Westside Warriors in six games.
In the Coastal Con-ference, the regular-season league champion Powell River Kings also lead the Surrey Eagles two games to one prior to game four on Tuesday night.
