Dwayne Jean Jr., Men's Hockey

EDMONTON – Book-ending Friday’s thrilling 4-3 overtime win with the first and last goals of the contest, Jean Jr. left his stamp on one of the biggest triumphs in program history.

When he scored on a breakaway at 1:11 of overtime – a snipe glove side on Ethan Barwick – he delivered MacEwan’s first-ever home win over cross-town rival Alberta in Canada West play.

Jean Jr. also opened the scoring 5:50 into the game when he took a pass from Ethan Sundar and sifted a quick shot through a D-man before jumping around him to blast the rebound past Ethan Kruger. He finished the game with a +3 rating and four shots.

For the season, the forward is now up to five goals and 11 points in 16 games, which is ninth amongst Canada West rookies and tied for third in scoring on the Griffins.

Jean Jr. and the Griffins are now off on semester break. They’ll return to action on Jan. 9-10 vs. Trinity Western. They’ll also host the Chinese National Team on Jan. 14 in an exhibition game.
