St. Louis might not seem the obvious place to look for hockey talent. But T.J. Friedmann would care to disagree. The six-foot-three native of the Missouri metropolis scored twice to lead the Victoria Grizzlies to a 5-2 victory over the Nanaimo Clippers on Saturday night at the Q Centre as the B.C. Hockey League club rolled to 18-5-5.

Looking to add more scoring to his lineup, Victoria Grizzlies general manager Craig Didmon has added 18-year-old St. Louis native T.J. Friedmann to the roster, deleting Arizona product Sage Englund to make room.
