The 100 Mile House Wranglers lassoed another major hockey title on Sunday, and they aren’t done yet.

The team – which includes Whitehorse forward Alex Hanson – downed the host Victoria Cougars 5-4 last night to win the Cyclone Taylor Cup – British Columbia’s Junior B hockey championship.

The Wranglers previously won the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League on March 31.

After missing the first game of the four-team tournament on Thursday – a 4-2 loss to the Cougars – with post-concussion symptoms, Hanson returned Friday night and scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the Mission City Outlaws.

The goal came on a shot from the corner after Hanson dug it free and saw the goalie floundering.

The 18-year-old left-winger added two primary assists in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the defending champion Campbell River Storm as the Wranglers earned a rematch with the Cougars in the tournament final.

“It felt good to come back and make an immediate impact to help the team win,” Hanson told the Star from the team bus this morning.

“It’s a huge accomplishment,” he said of the Cyclone Taylor Cup victory.

“It was tough as there were a lot of good teams here. We just stuck to our systems and played our game.

“That final was something else,” he said of Sunday’s matchup that saw Victoria leading 4-3 with less than eight minutes remaining.

“We just said to each other: ‘That’s not the Wrangler way.’ And we had a lot of ups and downs earlier in the season to prepare us for that moment.”

An unassisted goal by Brett Harris tied the game before a last-minute back-door snipe on the power play from Ryan Friesen – who also played with Hanson in Fort St. John two years ago – sealed the deal.

The Wranglers are now Regina-bound for the Keystone Cup – western Canada’s Jr. B championship.

The tournament marks the end of the road, as there is no national Jr. B championship.

The tournament begins Thursday and also includes Alberta’s North Peace Navigators, Saskatchewan’s Regina Capitals and Saskatoon Quakers, as well as Manitoba’s Peguis Juniors and Ontario’s Thunder Bay Northern Hawks.

Six of the last seven Keystone Cup tournaments have been won by the B.C. entry, a stat Hanson is aware of.

“There’s always pressure, whether it’s from ourselves or people outside the team,” he said. “This is a great group of guys. We’ve spent lots of time on the bus this season and it’s quite the connection we have.”
