Top ice hockey wins
The two top teams in the Canterbury Ice Hockey Association's senior competition, Islanders and Bruins, consolidated their positions at the week-end with wins over the next-placed teams. They will meet each other next week-end.
In Friday’s game at the Big Apple, Islanders took an early 4-0 lead and matched goals with Rangers over the next two periods.

Roberts, D. Britz). On Saturday evening, Bruins and AW A Hitachi Redwings played one of the closest games of the season.
