Kilrich beat the AON Flames 5-1 Sunday to stay ahead of the second place Air North Jets (4-0-1) in the Whitehorse Oldtimer Hockey League standings. Tonight, the two unbeaten clubs will square off at Takhini Arena.

Meanwhile, Jeff Jensen was the only Flames player to beat Kilrich keeper Jeff Kalles.

Shawn Kinsella scored twice – one shorthanded – with Jeff O’Farrell (2) and Ron Limoges adding the others for Medicine Chest.
Rangers sniper Jason Cunning (2) and Les Luciuk got pucks behind Medicine Chest goalie Eugene Johnson in the loss.
Also last night, Yukon Inn downed EDI 9-4, thanks to a four-point night from Greg Charlie, which included a hat trick.
Steve Smith and Ron Daub each put a pair of goals past EDI goalie Kyle Martsinkiw, with Adam Green and Ernie Jamieson adding the others. Curt Campbell had three assists in the win.
Pat Tobler scored twice for EDI, while Ed van Randen and Dave Ecker rounded out the scoring.
