Thomas Stewart scored the game-winning goal late in the second period as Team White earned a hard fought 6-5 victory on Friday afternoon as Kings Prospects Camp has officially come to a close.
Stewart took a pass from Jayden Jubenvill of Gilbert Plains and he fired it to the back of the net. Dauphin’s Rylan Gibbs scored in the third period to bring Team Black within one goal, but it wasn’t quite enough.
