OFFICIALS—Thom Fisher and Paul Fitzer.
NOTES—Suns rookie Noah Loyd scored his first-ever Suns on the power play early in the second period. It was the only period all weekend in which the Suns scored first......The Suns simply had no answer for the speed and quickness of McCall's Darin Olver, 24, a 6-0, 175-pounder from Burnaby, B.C., Canada who excelled collegiately for CCHA Northern Michigan through his senior season of 2007. Olver came to Northern Michigan after an astonishing 89 points (34 goals, 55 assists) in just 59 games for the BCHL Tier II Junior A Chilliwack Chiefs during 2002-03. A junior hockey program since 1970, the Chiefs from British Columbia turned into the Langley Chiefs three years ago, and the Suns split a pair of home games with the Langley Senior Chiefs Jan. 16-17 on resort ice. Meanwhile, as a freshman at Northern Michigan Olver led the Wildcats in scoring with 34 points (13 goals and 21 assists) playing in all 41 games. He led Northern Michigan as a senior with 20 assists (34 points total) in 2006-07 and finished his 158-game Wildcat college career with 51 goals and 95 assists for 146 points. In 2004 Olver was the 36th overall pick in the National Hockey League entry draft. He was chosen sixth in Round Two by the New York Rangers. This was the same NHL draft topped by Dynamo left wing Alex Ovechkin, now a Washington Capitals franchise player. To date, Olver hasn't broken into the major leagues, but he has skated in the German Ice Hockey League for the Straubing Tigers.......Olver's father John, 50, also from Burnaby, played collegiately at the University of Michigan. He started his head coaching career in the WCHL with the Fresno Falcons in 1995. John Olver migrated to Boise for his third WCHL head coaching job in 2000 and he stayed five years, winning the Kelly Cup championship in 2004 with such players as Cal Ingraham and Sun Valley defenseman Jeremy Mylymok. In 2005 Olver took the assistant coaching job at Northern Michigan and coached not only Darin, but also Darin's younger brother Mark, a 2008 NHL draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche.....Sun Valley had won six of its last seven games against McCall before the 3-2 Suns home loss to the Mountaineers Jan. 3. McCall still leads the 30-game, six-year series 17-12-1 including a 9-7 record on Sun Valley ice and an 8-5-1 record at Manchester Ice and Event Centre.....
