LANTZ: The annual Maple Ridge Elementary ball hockey game involving local RCMP officers on June 18 did not disappoint.

The Grade 5 students went back and forth with the RCMP/Parent team resulting in a late 5-5 deadlock.

Const. Andrew Ouellette broke the tie with the eventual game winning goal, while his 10-year-old son, Gabriel, shut the door in net to seal their second consecutive victory.

Most impressively? The adults secured the win with zero medical timeouts or oxygen required.

It was a fun time for all involved.
