Jack Hinder netted a hat trick for his Port Coquitlam Saints on the way to a 7-4 victory over Saanich at the B.C. Peewee Provincial Championships in Richmond last week.
Rahil Mawji added a pair in the victory, while Tyler Wren and Mitchell Watson each picked up pairs in the match.
The win capped off a 28-2 season for the Saints, who defeated Shuswap 8-2 to get to the provincial championship match.
Goaltender Daniel Bowers was key to holding off the Saanich offence and he was named MVP of the game.
Saanich was on the ropes for most of the match.
PoCo jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first and added two more in the second to take a 3-1 lead going into the final frame.
But the Saints' opponents were not finished yet.
Saanich mustered three goals in the third to close the gap, however it was not enough to best the PoCo squad, who added four of their own in the final frame.
