The city’s junior B hockey club closes out the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League regular season with two games this week, a home tilt Thursday (Feb. 18) against the Campbell River Storm and then a visit Saturday to face the Kerry Park Islanders.

Nanaimo lost both its games last week, falling 4-2 to the Oceanside Generals at home Thursday and then dropping a 3-2 decision Saturday against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings.

GAME ON … The Bucs and Storm face off Thursday at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC. The Bucs play the Glacier Kings in the playoffs with Game 1 slated for Tuesday (Feb. 23) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC.
