Comeback falls just short for U18 Cobras against Whitewood

The final game of Hockey Day in Saskatchewan on Jan. 19 saw the U18 Canora Cobras meet the visiting Whitewood Elks at the Canora Civic Centre, with Whitewood victorious by 4-2.

CANORA - The final game of the week-long Hockey Day in Saskatchewan on Jan. 19 pitted the U18 Canora Cobras against the Whitewood Elks at the Canora Civic Centre, with Whitewood coming out on top, 4-2.

Cobras Coach Adam Vangen said he and his team enjoyed СÀ¶ÊÓƵ part of Canora’s Hockey Day in Saskatchewan.

“It was a busy week with lots of things happening and we were happy to have the support of a great crowd.”

The Elks took period leads of 1-0 and 3-0, but the Cobras kept at it and found some success in the third period. Goals by Linden Roebuck of Canora and Jake Soltys of Sturgis narrowed the deficit to a single goal. However, that was the closest the Cobras would get, as the Elks scored a late insurance goal to make the final 4-2. 

“We played a good game against Whitewood, in the end we came up short but the team worked hard. 

“Our team is made up of a great group of kids that never quit. They work hard and stick together as a team. They have seen that hard work pays off and keep going right until the final horn.”

Vangen said the Cobras are enjoying a busy season. 

“The season is going well, we have attended a couple tournaments in addition to league play.”
