The Vancouver North East Chiefs ended their season Saturday after a second straight loss to the Valley West Hawks, eliminating them from the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League postseason.
The Maple Ridge-based Chiefs lost 7-0 to the Hawks Friday night in the first game of their best-of-three playoff series, before falling 7-3 on Saturday.
Both games were held at the Langley Events Centre.
The Hawks didn’t waste anytime Friday, as they opened a 3-0 lead in the span of four minutes in the first period.
Another glut of goals in the second saw the Hawks build an insurmountable 6-0 lead heading into the final frame, which they added to in the final minute of the game.
The Chiefs came out determined not to be sent home Saturday night, and opened the scoring 12 minutes into the first period on a goal from Jacob Wensley.
However, it would be all Hawks for the rest of the game, specifically Trevor Cox, who scored four goals to end the Chiefs playoff hopes.
Joey Santucci and Dominic Centis added goals in the third, with Nick Hermany, Tyler Martin, Daniel Del Bianco, and Matthew Bisset picking up assists.
The Hawks advance to the BCMML semifinals this weekend, where they will take on the Cariboo Cougars.
