RECAPS

A FINAL – Dragons (2) vs. Ottawa Cannons (1)

For all the marbles…We had our first goal four minutes in as Sam Leger fired one from the slot to give OC the first lead. It wasn’t long before DG evened the score with Andrew Dubroy’s goal. Both teams exchanged another goal before OC took over. Julien Delorme scored 5hole from the point, followed by Seb Tremblay’s end to end goal and Steven Dignard’s floating shot top cheese that pushed them ahead by three. Matt Trepanier scored the last goal of the period for DG to make it a 5-3 game at half. DG wasted no time in the second as Andrew Dubroy and Evan Jaundziekars set each other up for a goal on the same shift to even the score at five a piece. OC’s Dignard completed the hatty to push ahead but JC Alfieri responded with back-to-back rebound goals to steal the lead for DG 7-6. Goals were pouring in and with 8 minutes left, DG were up 9-7. Sam Leger’s rebound backdoor got OC within one but a quick response from DG got the two-goal lead back. Penalty trouble for DG gave Julien Delorme his second goal of the game as he tapped in a loose ball. Down by one, OC pulled the goalie with a minute left. DG’s goalie Mathieu Gauthier made a huge glove save to keep the lead and his team killed the rest of the clock, adding an empty net buzzer beater. Dragons win the A championship 11-9.

DG - Mathieu Gauthier - 43 shots

OC - Ryan Girgrah - 48 shots

B FINAL – Redline (2) vs. Lumberjacks (1)

For all the B marbles… RL wasted no time in this one as they popped in two goals within twenty-four seconds. It didn’t take long for LBJ to get them back and captain Brent Stewart got it started with his shot from in front. The scoring took a bit of a break before LBJ’s Tyler Benson evened the score. LBJ kept that momentum and Jake Daigle scored back-to-back goals to make it a 4-2 game. Stewart struck again before RL got their next one off a lucky backwall rebound to put the score at 5-3 at the buzzer. The first goal of the second half didn’t come until halfway through as RL’s Jeff Armstrong scored between the pads. LBJ responded right away to keep their two goal lead. RL took a penalty and LBJ took full advantage as Brent Stewart scored his fourth of the game to put the score at 7-4 with four minutes left. RL refused to give up and Amit Nanda and Dan Apt scored to get them within one. A powerplay allowed LBJ to score an empty net goal to make it a 8-6 game. With twenty-one seconds left, Matt Code completes the hatty. A shot on net hit LBJ’s goalie’s stick which stopped it from crossing the line before the buzzer as Lumberjacks held on for the 8-7 win to take the B championship.

LBJ - Stephane Portelance - 38 shots

RL - Behrooz Amoli - 44 shots
