Dawson Creek has jumped up to second place while the North Peace Navigators find themselves in third place.

NORTH PEACE NAVIGATORS

A trip across the border to BC didn’t go very well for the Navs.

Two road games are on the Vipers schedule this week, North Peace on Wednesday and Fort St. John on Saturday.

GRANDE PRAIRIE KINGS

The Kings find themselves tied for last place in the standings.

A 5-4 overtime loss against Sexsmith gives the Kings and Vipers identical 4-10-2 records.

The Kings lone game this weekend as a trip to Dawson Creek on Friday.

DAWSON CREEK CANUCKS
