Calgary Hitmen beat Swift Current Broncos 6-2 [Photos]
The Hitmen’s Jackson Houck celebrates one of his three goals against the Swift Current Broncos in his team’s 6-2 win last night at the Saddledome. MIKE DREW/POSTMEDIA NETWORKTwo weeks ago, Jackson Houck was starting to wonder if he’d ever score again.
Now, everything the Calgary Hitmen overager touches turns to gold.
The skilled centre scored a hat-trick — all three coming on the powerplay — as the Hitmen stomped the Swift Current Broncos 6-2 Saturday at the Saddledome.
Houck threw the 800-lb. gorilla off his back after forcing overtime with a late goal last weekend against the Edmonton Oil Kings.
It was his first goal since Nov. 6, snapping a 13-game goal-less drought.
Those days are long gone.
