Clippers work overtime

by Greg Sakaki of the Nanaimo News Bulletin

“We just got real sloppy,” said Bill Bestwick, Clippers coach. “In our own end, in particular.”

Bestwick said Salmon Arm’s solid defensive corps moved the puck well and didn’t make many mistakes. Clippers captain Matt Irwin said the Silverbacks kept it simple and forced the home team into turnovers.

Irwin said his team relented once it had a two-goal lead.
