Courtnall, Justin

I like reports like this: Big games from Courtnall, Fadden, Jung, Tokarski, and Wright (pictured).

BCHL
Victoria Grizzlies 6 @ Alberni Valley Bulldogs 1 (Tuesday)
W Justin Courtnall, VIC: 2-0-2, 9 PIM (roughing after the whistle double minor, fighting major), *Second Star*
Season totals: 49 GP, 19-33-52, 88 PIM

With Victoria down 1-0 in the second, Courtnall scored twice in just over five minutes to give the Grizzlies a lead they would never relinquish. Courtnall, who has five goals in his last two games, sets a new career high for points in a season with 52. He tied last year’s goal mark of 19 – set in 60 games. He also tied his career high for penalty minutes in a season.

First stars for Tokarski and James Wright ... Cunti scores again ... Jung back on the winning side.

Cunti scores his 10th ... DeCoste earns first point for the Soo ... Tokarski faces fellow Team Canada goaltender Chet Pickard and comes away with another First Star.

Ward continues to produce in Cape Breton ... another First Star for Fadden ... Tokarski strengthens league-leading stats ... Calgary knocks off Vancouver in battle of the WHL's top teams.

Courtnall plays in BCHL All-Star Game ... Fadden and TC lose to Backlund and Kelowna ... Tokarski honored in pregame ceremony before making his 2009 WHL debut.
