a goal and an assist. The day ended on a high note with the Clippers winning 7-4 over Gladstone. Tanner Fluker started off the scoring, assist-ed by Jory Mullin. Bryce Enns (Drew Haight, Zane McCon-nell assisting) and Jory Mullin (Logan Riglin, Tyler Wallace) added two more in the first pe-riod. Gladstone had 2 goals to the Clippers’ 3 in the first. The second period was a wild one with Gladstone pick-ing up the first two goals early, and then Cartwright answering with two of their own. Scorers were Zane McConnell (Tan-ner Fluker), and Tanner Fluker (Jory Mullin). The third period was all Clippers with Zane McConnell (Bryce Enns), and Jory Mullin unassisted adding to the final score.

Two cross-ice rinks were set up at the Clipperdome as the youngest hockey players took to the ice. There were a lot of young kids out there and it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
