Steelheads road trip East to begin season’s second half

The Smithers Steelheads will embark on their last big road trip of the season this weekend.

They’ll be playing both Williams Lake and Quesnel, who currently sit in first- and second-place in the CIHL’s Eastern Division, respectively.

Coach Tom DeVries shares his method for success this weekend.

“Every team seems to have two strong lines and they seem to play them a lot … we pretty much just roll our lines and everybody just has to be aware who’s out there all the time,” he says.
