THE ‘LOVE’ GUY
Tonight’s game has a little extra meaning for a particular Trappers player. Goaltender Hayden Lovell faces his hometown team for the first time, and the Gibsons, BC product can’t wait. It’s still being determined whether or not the 2006-born goaltender will get the nod in net, but he will be ready if he does play.
Lovell has played in six of his team’s first ten games, with three wins and two losses. He’s posted a 3.36 goals against average and 0.887 save percentage, and he’s still looking for his first PJHL shutout.
