Anchorage — The Los Angeles Junior Kings' U-14 club is on the march, one win away from a berth in USA Hockey's national championships.

The Kings on Saturday beat the Wenatchee (Wash.) Junior Wild, 10-0, in a semifinal at the Pacific District Tier I Championships at the Subway Sports Centre, continuing their domination.

Los Angeles (4-0-0) has outscored opponents 32-5.

The Kings on Sunday will play the Anaheim (Calif.) Junior Ducks (3-1-0) for the championship -- the Ducks advanced to the 9 a.m. final with a 3-2 semifinal victory over the Alaska All Stars. Anaheim is the only team to score against the Kings, falling 9-5 to Los Angeles in a game earlier Saturday.

Winners in the three age groups being contested at the Subway -- U-14s, U-16s and U-18s -- qualify for next month's national tournament in Pittsburgh. Tier I is the highest level of American youth hockey.

Los Angeles' U-14s prospered Saturday behind five goals and a helper from Dylan Strachan, two goals and two assists from Justin Driffill, and one goal and one assist from Kailer Yamamoto. Strachan owns 7-8--15 totals in four games and Yamamoto checks in with 10-4--14 totals.

Anaheim's Evan Gray generated the game-winning and game-tying goals in the semifinal win over the All Stars, who received a goal and an assist from both Adam Vandenbos and Payton McSharry. Gray has furnished the Ducks with 4-3--7 totals in four games.

The U-16 semifinals were in progress as the Daily News went to press.

The Aces finished pool play Saturday with a 4-3 loss to the Las Vegas Storm. Bauer scored two goals to give him 6-2--8 totals in three games.
