RECAPS
B SEMI - Ravens (3) vs. Coyotes (2) - CT had to start the game short handed but it didn’t stop them from taking a quick 2-0 lead. It turned into an advantage for RV once the rest of the CT squad showed up as they took over the period. They scored the next five, including three from Brandon McGrath. CT scored the last goal of the period to put the score at 5-3 going into the second. Goals were flying in like crazy, but it was always RV that stayed with at least a three-goal lead. CT’s Paul Edmunds and RV’s Shain Raichura both finished with their own hat tricks. With just seven minutes left in the game the score was 9-6 before McGrath went on another run to finish with a total of seven. Ravens take the first seat in the finals with the 13-6 win. RV- Andrew Teed- 33 shots / CT- Bilal Hussain Syed- 47 shots
B SEMI - GeeGees (4) vs. Thunder (1) - Our second semi final game was also a high scoring one. Alex Machado led with back-to-back goals to give TD an early lead. His teammate added another before GG were on the board with their backhand shot in front. TD popped in two more before the first buzzer to make it a 5-1 game as they outshot GG 24-10. Just over six minutes went by in the second before TD scored two. DD tender Felix Boucher was busier in this period and unfortunately for him, his team could only get a few goals. Final 9-3 Thunder as they will face the Ravenx next week. GG- Felix Boucher- 60 shots / TD- Andy Hoang- 31 shots
A2 FINAL - Leitrim Hawks (2) vs. Rag Tag Bunch (1) - LH were looking for a win to finish this best of 3 series while RTB needed it to force game 3. After killing off a PK, RTB struck first with a nice goal of the goalie and in. Another goal followed shortly, and things were looking good with the early lead. LH settled in and went to work with a couple back door goals to even the score. Towards the end of the period, LH took their first lead of the game 4-2. A nice pass to the high slot allowed RTB to get within one before half. LH wasted no time and scored less than a minute in to push ahead by two. RTB refused to give up and scored the next three to put them up 6-5 with ten minutes left. LH’s Brendan Kelly tied the game with his hat trick goal. Time was winding down and it looked like we would be needing extra time but a turnover in the slot gave Adamo Cefalino the game winning goal for LH. RTB pulled the goalie with 0:38 left but an empty net goal sealed the deal as Leitrim Hawks won the A2 championship. LH- Carl Radford- 28 shots / RTB- David Sade- 40 shots
A1 FINAL - Soft Dumps (2) vs. Ottawa Cannons (1) - Our last game of the afternoon was for the A championship featuring the defending champs OC. Right from the start this game was intense and a penalty on each side was the first stat on the scoresheet. OC took the first lead almost halfway through the first off a powerplay goal. A couple minutes later, SD scored two within a minute to steal the lead 2-1. OC responded right away with a shot from the point to even the score. More penalty trouble for SD allowed OC to go back on top 3-2 and that would be the last goal before halftime. The first goal in the second came during another PP, this time for SD. With a bit more discipline, this game could have gone another way but SD took too many penalties and OC scored on each of their powerplays. After two more PP goals, OC had the 5-3 lead with seven minutes to go. SD were able to score one last goal on the backdoor in the final couple minutes, but OC held on for the 5-4 victory. SD- Jordy Kokkinakis- 43 shots / OC- Julien Duval- 23 shots
B FINAL - Ravens (3) vs. Thunder (1) - The finals baby!! Although this game was one sided as RV were missing a top scorer. TD had the 2-0 lead a few minutes into the game. RV did get fourteen chances on net but only squeezed one in before the first buzzer. TD dominated the first half with five goals to put the score at 5-1. TD’s Corey Boudreau completed the hat trick to open the second with a backhand rebound from the slot. With a large lead they slowed down their chances but still popped in three more. RV were able to get two more but wasn’t enough as TD win the championship 9-3. RV- Andrew Teed- 41 shots / TD- Felix Boucher- 31 shots
