The Smokies dramatic 2-1 overtime win in Salmon Arm was in very many ways a “Shuswap surprise”! Lucas Lemieux scored a shorthanded goal with less than one second remaining in the third period to send the game to the extra period. Judah Makway was serving an interference penalty after a wild goalmouth scramble with 30-seconds […]
Judah Makway’s two goals and Teagan Kendrick’s powerful 33-save performance paced the Trail Smoke Eaters to a 4-1 win over Penticton on a fiery Friday night at Cominco Arena.

The game’s first goal didn’t […]
Friday night’s Smoke Eaters win was 8-standing! In addition to the 8-2 victory over the Warriors, the 1,505 Cominco Arena fans got to see a highlight reel goal by Jason Stefanek. His dirty-dangle in tight quarters through the West Kelowna defense was finished by a dastardly deke and the backhand burial of the biscuit past […]
