Box Score EDMONTON – After the No.1 University of Alberta Golden Bears raised the banner to commemorate their record 14^th CIS championship, former Edmonton Oil King Jordan Hickmott continued his torrid scoring pace with a four-goal performance in a 10-0 victory over the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, Friday night at Clare Drake Arena.
 
The Mission, B.C. native now has six goals in his last three games and 15 points in his last five against the Pronghorns. He's also scored in every game he's played against Lethbridge, netting 28 career points in 13 games.
 
Linemate T.J. Foster had a goal and three assists while Riley Kieser, Jamie Crooks, Travis Toomey, James Dobrowolski, and Mitch Topping all scored singles. Former CIS Goaltender of the Year Kurtis Mucha made 16 saves in his 10^th career conference shutout.
 
Hickmott got the offence going only 93 seconds into the game, roofing a shot glove side on a two-on-two rush to make it 1-0 for the home team.
 
Fresh off winning a Memorial Cup last season with the Oil Kings, Kieser scored his first goal as a Golden Bear when he came down the left wing and snapped a shot far side at the 10:01 mark of the first period.
 
Lethbridge responded by pulling starting goalie Damien Ketlo, but only 56 seconds later, Alberta made it 3-0 when Crooks took a Thomas Carr pass in the Pronghorn slot, fanning on his shot attempt, but chipping it into the far corner to elude Ketlo's replacement, sophomore netminder Warren Shymko.
 
Hickmott got his second on the night when he came in on a partial breakaway, trying to deke into the inside but losing control of the puck, only to have it carry right through Shymko's five-hole with 6:29 left in the opening frame.
 
Former Seattle Thunderbird Toomey made it a five-goal first period when he was alone in front and went top shelf in tight for his first of the season.
 
Opening the middle stanza scoring with his hat trick goal, Hickmott buried a wristshot from the faceoff dot on the power-play at the 3:44 mark while Foster made it seven goals for Alberta when he redirected a Rhett Rachinski pass in front, Shymko stopping the puck inside his arm, but just on the other side of the Lethbridge goal line.
 
Dobrowolski, a former Prince George Cougar, got his first of the season when his point shot through a partial screen found top shelf behind Shymko with 4:45 left in the second frame.
 
With the game all but over entering the third, Hickmott was given a gift at the 4:42 mark of the final frame, a delicious rebound sitting at the bottom of the faceoff circle with Shymko desperately trying to get back into the net but the former Canada West First Team All-Star ate up the loose puck for his conference-leading sixth goal of the season.
 
Topping rounded out the scoring with his first as a Golden Bear when he fired the puck high blocker side on Shymko 91 seconds later.
 
The Pronghorns tried to break Mucha's shutout late in the game with a couple of point-blank chances but the Sherwood Park, Alta. native stood tall to keep Lethbridge off the scoreboard.
 
The two squads meet tomorrow on Saturday in game two of the weekend series, puck drop at 6:00 p.m. MT.
