The list of players contributing to the Delta Ice Hawks impressive start to the season continues to grow.
With four affiliate players in their line-up Tuesday night due to injuries and suspensions, the Hawks squeezed out a 2-1 win over the visiting Ridge Meadows Flames to improve to 10-2-1-1 in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League.
The call-ups did more than hold their own as Seafair Midget AAA goalie Jacob Letrace was outstanding between the pipes, turning aside 37 shots to earn the game's first star.
It was Delta Wild U18 member Jonathan Evans who broke a 1-1 deadlock at the 5:58
mark of the third period. Connor Fortems had the other Delta goal as the hosts were also outstanding on the penalty kill, holding the Flames off the scoresheet on eight power players.
Rounding out the affiliates were another Wild member - Colin Grannary - and Seafair blueliner Cameron Cuthbert. All Grannary has done in four games with the Hawks is produce five points, including four goals.
Delta was scheduled to visit Mission last night and is back in action at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Tuesday against the Abbotsford Pilots at 7:30 p.m. in battle of the league's top two teams.
