Craig Sports Briefs for Jan. 14, 2015: Craig hockey teams struggle on the road

The Craig Youth Hockey Association’s Midget and Squirt teams each had away matches over the weekend against West Elk and Vail, respectively.

The Midget squad lost, 8-1, Saturday in Gunnison, then 6-2, Sunday in Crested Butte, against the Wolverines. The Bulldogs were behind for the entirety of their first game, with Garrett Ferguson scoring late in the third period off an assist by Riley Allen.

The team came out stronger the next day with Logan Roberts giving them an early lead with a power play goal, only to have West Elk pick up plenty of points answered only once by Allen.



The Squirts were ahead in their first of four games in Vail, with Chayton McDonald and James Neal — the latter assisted by Brant Gutierrez — giving them the lead in the first period, but Vail’s red team hit hard to make it a 5-2 loss for the Cougars. Hunter Snow nabbed the only goal of a 3-1 defeat in the second part of the Saturday double-header.

The team went completely scoreless Sunday against the Vail black team, losing 3-0 and 5-0.



The Squirts will next play at home, hosting Aspen Feb. 1, while the Midgets will host their first home game this Sunday against Steamboat Springs.
