More than a full calendar month will pass between home games for the Black & Gold as the current Alberta Junior Hockey League campaign rolls on.
The Olds Grizzlys lost 5-4 to the visiting Camrose Kodiaks on a last minute goal in the third period on Sunday, January 11th. They will have to wait until Friday, February 13th when the Bonnyville Pontiacs come to town for another chance to win at the Sportsplex.
The longest road trip of the year for the Grizzlys – 8 games – started with a stop in Fort McMurray.

Martin also had an assist and forward David Hoy (2007) from Fort St. John, B.C. chipped in with two helpers. Hoy is third on the team with 15 assists this season, while Martin is second with 17.
