Alberta edges Manitoba for first men’s hockey win
Team Alberta’s men’s hockey team built up a huge lead then held on to beat Manitoba 6-5 in their second game at the 2019 Canada Winter Games at the Westerner Park Centrium.
Alberta came out of the gate firing looking to make up for their loss on Friday to Saskatchewan.
The home side opened the scoring 3:17 into the first on a two-man advantage when Corson Ceulemans found the back of the net for his first of the tournament.
Alberta kept their foot on the gas for the rest of the period with goals from Colton Dach, Tyson Laventure, Brett Hyland, and Kai Uchacz, taking a commanding 5-1 lead into the first intermission.
