The Squamish Wolf Pack played a rare Tuesday night home game on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) but it was a self-destructive display they'd much rather forget.With the score tied 3-3 against the North Delta Devils early in the third period, Pack forward Ross Pattison received a five-minute penalty after attempting to instigate a scrap with an evasive Kyle Leung. North Delta scored two goals on the ensuing power play, triggering a horrid downward spiral for Squamish that ended in a humiliating 10-3 defeat.Squamish had never before allowed that many goals in a game or as many in a single 20-minute period in its short franchise history. Head coach and general manager Matt Samson said he is fed up with the consistently undisciplined play of Pattison, who leads the team in scoring with 15 points in 14 games. "Discipline has always been a problem for Pattison," he said. "He's one of the best players in the league but if he does that he's not going to be around here much longer. He can't put himself above the team."Squamish was competing well after two periods but was having trouble on special teams. It was beating North Delta 2-1 in the second period but allowed a shorthanded goal on a five-minute power play. The forward line of Trevor Beaupre, Hunter Nelson and Joshua Schaubroeck combined for two goals and Tadz Brown contributed a goal. But all was lost when Squamish allowed the man advantage. And the team can get rattled after giving up a couple quick goals, said Samson.The loss brings the Wolf Pack's weekly record to one win and three losses since Thursday (Nov. 6) when it got drowned by the Pacific International Junior Hockey League leading Richmond Sockeyes 9-2. The Sockeyes racked up a whopping 67 shots.Squamish allowed another 67 shots on Saturday (Nov. 8) against the Port Moody Black Panthers but this time Graham Hallenbeck was able to turn away an incredible 65 shots to earn Squamish a 4-2 win.A two-game home-and-home series with the Devils began in North Delta on Sunday (Nov. 9). The Wolf Pack closed a two-goal gap to one with a score by Beaupre but couldn't capitalize on power plays to bring the game closer. Squamish lost 4-1 despite outshooting North Delta 31-28. Squamish is back at Brennan Park on Saturday night (Nov. 15) to battle the Mission Icebreakers. The puck drops at 7:15 p.m.
