Nov. 11-13 boys league game recaps
Game recaps are sent in by the home teams.
YARMOUTH 4 – NKEC 2
On Friday evening in Canning, the NKEC Titans hosted a very hard working and talented Yarmouth side. The Titans came out fast and were ready to match anything the visiting team was ready to serve.
The game went back and forth for the first 6 minutes until #73, Isaac Tunnicliff, scored top shelf after a Titan turnover. This would be a theme for the evening, as each time the Titan team felt they were back in the game the Vikings would jump on a turnover and put the puck in the net. At the end of the period it was 1-0 Yarmouth.
The Vikings goaltender was very strong when needed, stopping a number of great opportunities from the home side. Each team scored 1 goal in the second period, leaving the Yarmouth lead 2-1 at the end of the second. The Yarmouth goal was scored by #17, Orren Hatfield, and the Titans goal was scored by #14, Ethan Escott.
The third period was again back and forth and the next goal was going to be extremely important for either side. Both teams were trading opportunities and Yarmouth was able to score and extend their lead to two goals on another Titan turnover. The Yarmouth goal was scored by #12, Luke MacLeay. Both teams traded goals before the end of the game and the Vikings won by a score of 4-2. The 4th Yarmouth goal was scored by #11, Declan Fitzgerald who played extremely hard all night and was deserving of this goal. The Titan’s 2nd goal was scored by #7, Jonny Petrie.
The Titans would like to wish Yarmouth best of luck during the rest of the season.
