NORTH Vancouver's Jansen Harkins helped Team B.C. claim gold at the Western Canada U16 Challenge held Nov. 1-4 in Calgary.
Harkins racked up four goals - including a hat trick in the first period - and one assist in an explosive five-point performance in the tournament final against the two-time defending champions from Alberta as Team B.C. cruised to a 9-3 win to take the Cup. This was the first Cup win for Team B.C. since the tournament's inception in 2009. Harkins is a forward with the North Shore/Burnaby-based Vancouver North West Giants of the B.C. Major Midget League. He was picked second overall in the 2012 Western Hockey League bantam draft by the Prince George Cougars.
