December is here, and with it are eight games for the Coastal Tsunami (12-14-1-1), including tonight’s matchup in Mission (8-18-2-0).
These two teams have played once before, with Coastal securing a 7-2 victory on home ice on November 15.
That night, the Coastal Tsunami was led on the scoreboard by 2006-born forward Ben Walker, who scored a goal and two assists.
Tonight’s meeting will be the final one of the season between the two teams, and the Coastal Tsunami plans to leave the building with two points.
