After a short six days of camp the Vancouver Giants held their annual Alumni Challenge intra-squad game at Delta’s Sungod Arena that saw a fair size crowd on hand to watch the stars of tomorrow.
Both Coaches in the game were ex-Giant players that had “Bragging Rights” on the line or so I was told by both following the game.
Team Quinn was coached by Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, while Team Howe was coached by Calgary Flames forward Lance Bouma.
I have had the luxury to deal with both Brendan and Lance the past few seasons and not only do the Vancouver Giants develop and produce quality players, they develop boy’s to Men!!
The game saw Team Quinn squeak out a narrow 2-1 win that could have gone either way in the last minute of play following a timeout called by Bouma – that almost worked.
Gage Ramsay scored twice to lead Team Quinn and the game featured Giants “tender” Payton Lee play stellar for the first period and a half.
The other end featured exceptional play of Greater Vancouver Canadian’s goalie Tyler Shurgue who played between the pipes last season in the Major Midget League.
