Josh Wesley scores highlight reel in Whalers’ opening weekend

By @MichaelCaples –

It didn’t take long for one of the Plymouth Whalers’ top players to work his way into the hockey highlight reels for the 2014-15 season.

In just their second game of the season – and their home opener – Josh Wesley scored from what seemed like an impossible angle with a backhander…after completing a spin-o-rama around an Erie Otters defender.

Check out the video (and watch for the replay for better detail):

The Whalers ended up losing 5-4 in OT. They are now 1-0-1-0 on the season after a 5-0 season-opening victory against London on Friday.
