The Okotoks Bisons battled the Banff Academy Bears last night.

It was a tight game with lots of scoring, but they pulled off a 6-5 win in overtime.

This win brings the Bison's record to 8 and 3 for the season, placing them 3rd overall in the Southern Division.

The Junior B hockey action continues today, as the High River Flyers take on the Medicine Hat Cubs, and the Strathmore Wheatland Kings face off against the Ponoka Stampeders.

The Bisons will travel to Airdrie next for their match-up on Friday.
