Steaming Express hit Interior

Following seven straight wins -- all at home -- the B.C. Hockey League's Coquitlam Express will be tested this weekend when they travel to tangle with two Interior Conference foes.

Granted, their opponents are hardly burning things up in the win column.

The 21-12-2-2 Express face the Interior's last-place Trail Smoke Eaters tonight (Friday) before visiting the fifth-place Vernon Vipers on Saturday.

"These games should make [us] an even tighter group," said Express assistant coach Grant Kerr. "In posting seven straight wins on home ice, we showed tremendous determination. Not every game was a classic but the team always had the inner strength to dig in when the game was on the line."
