Powell River U15 Kings captain Lucas Gruntman was involved in all six goals in his team’s gold medal performance at the Kings Cup at Powell River Recreation Complex last weekend.
Gruntman scored five goals and assisted on one by Gabriel Caldarone. After Powell River took the lead seconds into the November 10 game, the visitors from Juan de Fuca scored a minute later.
Kings went ahead 3-1 in the second period, then fell behind 4-3 early in the third period. Gruntman scored the game-tying fourth and eventual game-winning fifth goals unassisted, and nine seconds apart. He added the insurance marker with just over nine minutes remaining in the game.
Powell River had an easy time in round robin play, winning each game by six to eight goals before downing Semiahmoo 8-3 in the semi-final. Kooper Kozmeniuk scored four times, Blake Peters added a pair of goals and singles were scored by Calderone and Kesler Brown.
Round robin:
Powell River 10 - Cloverdale 2 (November 8)
Powell River 9 - Semiahmoo 2 (November 9)
Powell River 10 - Juan de Fuca 4 (November 9)
