The Coquitlam Express gave up a pair of unanswered goals in the third period to drop a third straight game, 5-3, to the Powell River Kings on Monday.

A study by the Canada Games Council says one in three Canadian youth are unsure if they'll return to playing their sport once the COVID-19 pandemic is over, and one in five say they won't return.

The Coquitlam Express let a two-goal lead evaporate in the third period, then lost its game against the Powell River Kings, 5-4 in overtime, Friday at the Scotia Barn in Burnaby.

The Coquitlam Express scored three goals in the third period to defeat the Surrey Eagles, 5-2, on Thursday.

“This is a stark reminder of how quickly the virus can spread and its serious impact, even among healthy, young athletes.”

Coquitlam's Liam Donnelly has announced his retirement as the head coach of varsity swimming and diving at Simon Fraser University. His 30-year career at SFU hasn't always gone swimmingly, though.

The Coquitlam Express defeated the Powell River Kings 7-6 on Saturday to even the team's record to a win and a loss in the BC Hockey League's shortened pod season.

The Canucks will need to make up at least six postponed games.

Between their roster, taxi squad, and coaching staff, the Canucks have at least 21 positive COVID-19 cases.
