The Estevan Eclipse Downhole Solutions U18 AAA Bears hockey team will have to wait a little longer to play their first-ever regular season home game.
The Bears have announced the game, scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday at Affinity Place against the Swift Current Legionnaires, has been postponed due to the weather. A make-up date hasn’t been announced.
Estevan lost 3-2 in a shootout to the Legionnaires in Swift Current on Friday. It marks the first regular season point for the Bears.
Colby Cuddington scored in the second period and Cooper Chisholm tallied in the third for Estevan. Chisholm’s goal came early in the third, tied the game at 2-2 and forced extra time.
Overtime solved nothing, so the game went to a shootout, where Swift Current had the only goal.
Kelton Pyne made 33 saves for the Bears.
Estevan’s next game wlll be Nov. 13 at the Yorkton Maulers. Then they will host Yorkton Nov. 15 at Affinity Place at 4 p.m.
