Down 2-0 heading to the third? No problem. It’s making Silverback fans go grey, but Salmon Arm is winning hockey games. Trailing 2-0 after two and badly outplayed, the Silverbacks found a spark in Logan Shaw to start the scoring, and had Sam MacBean score his first in the BCHL which was the eventual game […]
