Playdowns have begun. The Mooretown Bantam
Rep team is peaking at just the right time.
Mooretown faces Mount Bridges in a preliminary best of 5 series. The first game took place Monday January 9th.
The Cougar's captain capitalized on opportunities in the first period to
score 4 goals. Hawkins was the Flag to
change the team’s momentum by scoring a goal.
From then on it was all Flags’ hockey.
During the second period Beauvais answered with a goal in front of the net assisted by Forbes. Then Duffy went top shelf bringing the team to within a one goal deficit. Late in the third, Rodey stick handled around a defensemen and charged toward the net. Realizing he didn’t have a shot passed to the hard forechecking Nicholson to assist the fourth goal tying the game.
Forcing overtime and coming back from a what was once a 4-goal deficit, Mooretown skated hard for a victory. Unfortunately, Mount Bridges won seven minutes into overtime. This Thursday both teams face off again in what should be a very exciting game to watch.
