The Chinook Hockey League season is underway, with the Innisfail ‘Southern’ Eagles scraping a win together this past weekend against the Stony Plain ‘Northern’ Eagles.

Stony Plain had previously beat Innisfail 7-6 in OT, but in the early season rematch, Innisfail skated away with 4-2 road win.

The two teams are duking it out this year for a chance to represent the Pacific region in the Allan Cup.

Last Saturday, Innisfail was down 2-1 after 40 minutes but scored three unanswered in the final frame to take it, while Chance Clark stopped 49 of 51 shots in net.

Innisfail peppered Stony Plain’s Wyatt Hoflin with 45 shots.
