You can't make this up. @Kelowna_Rockets forward Andrew Cristall scored his tying (25th) and franchise record setting goal (26th) vs. @WHLGiants. Nick Merkley and Shane McColgan, the previous record holders for 16 year-old scorers, also netted #25 vs. the G-Men. #Howcanthatbe? pic.twitter.com/nUNA99B5HY
