2012 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge
Pacific 5 - West 2
REINHART SCORES TWO AS PACIFIC TOPS WEST IN ALL-CANADIAN MATCH-UP
TECUMSEH, Ont. – Sam Reinhart (West Vancouver, B.C./Kootenay, WHL) scored twice to lead the offence as Pacific opened up the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge by beating West 5-2 Wednesday night in an all-Canadian battle.

After losing two in a row to West – the 2005 gold medal game and 2008 bronze medal game – Pacific (1-0) has won back-to-back contests against its neighbours, including an identical 5-2 victory one year ago in Winnipeg, Man.
Morgan Klimchuk (Calgary, Alta./Regina, WHL) and Pacific captain Curtis Lazar (Vernon, B.C./Edmonton, WHL) added a goal and an assist each in the victory, while Macoy Erkamps (Ladner, B.C./Lethbridge, WHL) also put his name on the scoresheet.
Nicholas Zajac (Headingley, Man./Saskatoon, WHL) opened the scoring for West (0-1) just over five minutes in and Remi Laurencelle (Winnipeg, Man./Winnipeg, MMAAHL) pulled his team to within a goal late in the second period, but Klimchuk’s power play goal less than three minutes later put the final nail in the West coffin.
Pacific travels to LaSalle to take on the Czech Republic on Friday night (7 p.m. ET), looking for a 2-0 start, while West is off Friday before meeting the Czechs on Saturday night in Tecumseh (7 p.m. ET).
