The victory was the second in as many days for the Hitmen who finish the Western Hockey League pre-season schedule with a record of 4-2.
Landon Welykholowa and Pavel Karnaukhov both had a goal and an assist to lead the Hitmen attack while Jake Bean and Mike Winther rounded out the scoring.
Kootenay outshot Calgary 25-16 but Evan Johnson turned in a solid goaltending performance making 24 saves to pick up the win.
Austin Wellsby had the lone goal for the Ice in a game where all the scoring came in the first period.
The Hitmen penalty killers played a key role in the victory holding the Kootenay powerplay to just one goal on nine chances while Calgary was 1-4 with the extra attacker.
The Hitmen will now get ready to open their 72-game 2014-15 WHL regular season schedule on Saturday, September 20 with the Adrenalin Source for Sports Home Opener against the Red Deer Rebels. Game time is 7:00 pm at Scotiabank Saddledome.
