Three Clearwater Peewees battle three from Merritt for the puck during a game at the Sportsplex on Saturday. Wearing white are (l-r) #11 Bailey Murray, #5 Kylie Fischer and #14 Soren Coates. The local squad won the game plus one on Sunday, but both were challenges for the team.

“We won both games against Merritt, though they made us work for it!”

That was the report from Clearwater Peewee Ice Hawks coach Barb Coates following games at the Sportsplex on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 17 and 18.
