The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs seven game unbeaten streak came to an end on Tuesday with the New Westminster Salmonbellies dealing the club its only blemish to its 2014 record.
New West came out strong in front of their home crowd at the Queens Park Arena, piling up six goals in the opening frame. Alex Bohl, Jeremy Bosher, Johhny Pearson, Chris Nasato, Connor Robinson and Quinn Mackay all managed to put the ball past A's goalie Riley Camazzola, who faced 54 shots in the game.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the rink, Coquitlam forward Jordan Magnuson's goal stood alone after the first 20 minutes. The Adanacs managed to notch a few goals in the second, including a power play marker from Chase McIntyre, but the team's offence dried up in the third and the club lost 11-5.
Coquitlam shook off the loss Wednesday night when the Langley Jr. Thunder visited the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
Brett Kjala opened the scoring on the power play for the home team, before Magnuson and Jean Luc Chetner added goals early in the first. A trio of power play goals from Langley, including two from James Rahe, knotted the score at three apiece by the end of the opening period.

Coquitlam began to pull away in the second when Kujala scored two more, while McIntyre and Evan Wortley both added to their goal column.
Kujala scored his fourth of the game in the third, while Chetner added a second to finish off the Thunder 9-7.
Camazzola faced 40 shots in the contest while Coquitlam was 13 for 19 in the face-off circle.
The team will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Vancouver Island to take on the Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen. The next home game will take place at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Wednesday. Face off is at 7:30 p.m.
