Dave Bakica scored only one of the 18 goals (yes, 18!) in this game, but it was the winner, as Air North outlasted Titanium Storage 10-8 in a wild affair in Whitehorse Oldtimers hockey action Sunday at Takhini Arena.

George Maratos was the Jets' ace with three goals, Kirk Price and Scott Olafson netted two each, and solo shots came from Brian Currie and Dave White. Titanium was led by Luke Johnson's four markers, Tyson Wirth added two and Kris King and Russ McDiarmid added one apiece.
