NKEC 6 – Forest Heights 1

On Friday night in Canning the NKEC Titans hosted the Forest Heights Falcons. As it is early in the season, both teams were not sure what to expect and the first ten minutes of the game resembled this belief. The game started a little sloppy with both teams exchanging scoring opportunities and giving the puck away numerous times. 

As the period settled in, both teams did as well as a little more structure seeped into the game.  The Forest Heights goalie played extremely well throughout the game, but he made some remarkable saves during the first period to keep the score at zero's at the end of the period. 

The Titans struck quickly, scoring 30 seconds into the second period, with by a goal by Adam Harris.  The Titans kept the pressure going scoring two more goals in less than five minutes by both Harris and Harrison Seaman.  At this point the game seemed to be going the Titans way, but a few big saves by the Forest Heights netminder and some penalty trouble by the home side allowed the visiting Falcons to get back in the game.  The period ended with the score 3 - 1 as Forest Heights scored a late one by Dylan Rafuse and entered the third period with all of the momentum.

At the start of the third period the Titans knew that only one thing could take the momentum back into their favour and that would be a quick goal and that is exactly what the 'Red' line did.   Scoring 15 seconds into the third period, Adam Harris scored his hat trick and made the score

4-1 Titans.  A minute later the Titans scored another goal, by Ryan Brown to take a 4-goal lead.  The Falcons kept their composure throughout the game and battled hard and at times were unlucky to capitalize to put a few more goals on the board.  With ten minutes left in the game the Titans scored their last of the evening by Peter MacDougall placing the final score 6 - 1 for the home team.   

The Titans would like to thank the Falcons for travelling to Canning and as well thank all of the spectators who cheered on both teams throughout the game.

Park View 4 – Yarmouth 0

In a Friday night tilt in front of a large home crowd, the Park View Panthers faced off against the Yarmouth Vikings. The Panthers came out of the gate strong creating scoring chances and getting lots of pucks through to the net. However, some stellar play by Yarmouth goaltender Braden Hipson kept the Panthers at bay until the 16:49 mark of the first when Landen Morash dented the twine, assists going to Dylan Demone and Jack Barry.

The Vikings pushed back on the powerplay, however Panthers Goalie Owen Lockwood was equal to the task keeping them off the board. 

Early in the second on the PP Fischer Genge scored on a nice feed from Dylan Demone and Nathan Lambourne to put the Panthers up 2-0. Later in the frame, Jonas Talbot picked up a pass from Landen Morash, walked the line firing a nice wrist shot which found the back of the net. The Panthers started the 3rd short-handed, however a strong PK kept the Vikings off the board. Fischer Genge picked up his second of the game at the 15:33 mark which ended the scoring for the night.

Owen Lockwood shut the door from there picking up his second shutout of the season securing the 4-0 win for the Panthers.
