Hockey

The Briercrest hockey team will be hosting ACAC leading and undefeated NAIT (14-0) this weekend to end the first half of their season. NAIT has a strong team both offensively and defensively as they have scored 86 goals, which is 32 more goals then the next potent offense in the ACAC, and have allowed five less than the next stingiest defense (26). The Briercrest hockey team has had some strong games this season and look to put together their best games against the league’s best this weekend, as they look to gain ground in the ultra-competitive ACAC this season. There are only nine points separating second from eighth in the standings! Game times at the Barkman Arena are 7:00 pm on Friday, November 20 and 2:00 pm Saturday, November 21.

If you can’t make it to the Barkman Arena, the games will also be streamed online at acac.tv.
