Birthday boy Sahir Gill was supposed to be the one receiving all the presents on Tuesday. Instead, the 17-year-old sniper gift-wrapped a commanding 3-0 Doyle Cup Pacific championship series lead for the Vernon Vipers by pocketing the winner in Game 3 against the Grande Prairie Storm at the Canada Games Arena. Gill, who also fired a clutch triple-overtime winner against the Powell River Kings in the B.C. Hockey League championship, was in good position to whack home the rebound past netminder Chad Carder, off an Adam Thompson point shot at 8:42 of the second period.
The Vipers will look to sweep the Storm Wednesday night at Canada Games Arena to earn a berth to the Royal Bank Cup Junior A Championship, May 2-10 in Victoria, but Ferner hasn't booked the bus quite yet.
