Spencer Asuchak had two goals in his final Western Hockey League game to lead the Prince George Cougars to a 4-2 win over the Kamloops Blazers.

It was a case of poetic justice as the Prince George Cougars' slim playoff dream was crushed in Kamloops in the 71st game of the Western Hockey League season.

It was close but the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves lost the dream of a 2012 CCAA women's basketball championship.

Men lose in semifinal round

Michael Sexton's persistence has landed him a golden opportunity on the pitch.

It's deja vu for Dennis Stark at the 2012 men's basketball national championship.

Paul De Jersey racked up another honour when he was named as a first-team all-star in the British Columbia Hockey League's year-end awards.

It's a slim chance but the Prince George Cougars could still earn a Western Hockey League playoff spot with help. If the Cougars (23-45-0-2) beat the Kamloops Blazers in their remaining two games they would end the season with 52 points.
