The Bienfait Coalers continued their early season dominance of the west bubble in the Big Six Hockey League.
Fresh off of an opening weekend sweep of the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings, the Coalers routed the Arcola-Kisbey Combines twice on the weekend: 9-4 Friday night in Arcola and 17-2 Saturday in Bienfait.
Thanks in large part to the two dominant victories, the Coalers have the top four scorers in the league: Keegan Malaryk and Dylan Herzberg, who each have 11 points, and Daniel Wanner and Kaelan Holt, who have seven each.
Also on Friday, the Wheat Kings defeated the Midale Mustangs 5-2 in Yellow Grass.
The other games on Saturday saw the Wawota Flyers defeat the Carlyle Cougars 5-3 in the Flyers first game of the season, and the Carnduff Red Devils knocked off the Redvers Rockets 8-3 in a battle of two of the top teams in the league the past couple of seasons.
That game was also Carnduff’s first contest of the season.
Activity in the league will pick up this weekend, with three games Friday and four games Saturday.
Friday’s games will be the Kipling-Windthorst Oil Kings at Carlyle, Carnduff at Wawota and Yellow Grass at Midale. The Oil Kings game will be their first game this season.
Saturday’s games will be Wawota at Carnduff, Carlyle at Kipling-Windthorst, Arcola-Kisbey at Bienfait and Midale at Yellow Grass.
All games will start at 8 p.m.
