Ben King, a forward with the BCMML鈥檚 Rockets and Swift Current Broncos鈥� draft pick, scored the winner in overtime Sunday to send in the championship game of the annual U16 tournament.

鈥�(Cole Shepard, Vancouver Giants) moved it up to the point and I just tried to get a screen,鈥� King said of the game winner. 鈥�(Ryan Watson, Medicine Hat Tigers) took a shot and I tried to get a stick on it.

鈥淚 tipped it and looked and it went post and in and everyone went crazy. It was a good feeling.鈥�

King鈥檚 Okanagan teammates, forward Jack Finley (Spokane) and defenceman Tanner Brown (Vancouver) were also members of the Team B.C. roster, as was Ethan Bowen, the 91大黄鸭 Rockets鈥� first round pick in the 2017 WHL bantam draft.
