The Shelburne Junior C Vets opened their 2014 season with an exhibition game win over the Fergus Thistles at the Arthur Community Centre in Arthur on Saturday, April 25.

Ty McCallum got three assists with his brother Chase collecting a pair.

Rhett Fleming played a solid game in net the Vets with four goals against him in his two periods while Midget call up Wade Sawyers stepped in to take over in the middle frame.

The teams were tied 3-3 after the first period before the Vets took a 9-7 lead into the third.

A late power play goal by the Thistles closed the gap but that would be the only goal of the period to Shelbune the win.

The final was 9–8.

The Vets were outshot on the night 39–35 in a fairly tame game which saw the Thistles handed seven minutes in minors penalties while the Vets picked up six.
