Revelstoke responded with only .06 seconds in the period to tie the game. Shots on goal were also tied at ten each.
The second period could have been called 'Flying Elbows' as that seemed to be the mood on ice for both teams.

Over the last few years, Princeton has gained a reputation of fielding a competitive Boys Soccer Team. This year again Princeton made the Valleys.
Congratulations to all the coaches, players and teachers for a very credible season!
