Feb. 24--The K&A Wolverines gave up an early goal, but it was all them after that as they blasted the North End Flames 15-1 in Thunder Bay Jr. B/Juvenile/AAA Hockey League play Sunday evening at Delaney Arena.

Erik Hjorth put North End up 1-0 in the first minute of the contest, but K&A tacked on four goals in the opening period on markers by Larry Johanson, Ryan Krasnichuk, Justin Backor and Luke DeCal.

Three more tallies in the middle stanza by Stephen Raynak, Justin Backor and Nico Anderson made it 7-1 after 40 minutes.

The Wolverines blew the game wide open in the third period striking eight times to complete the rout.

Backor and Raynak tacked on two goals apiece to complete their hat tricks while Brent Winkworth added a pair and Tyler Rizzuto and Josh Sigurdson added singles.
