Midget vs Midget battle it out!

A tense and thrilling game is the only way to describe the recent events at the Shelburne Arena on Sunday January 18th when the two local Midget teams played each other.
Both teams finishing off their last few games before the final season playoffs begin in February, battled it out on the ice last weekend keeping all their coaches on tender hooks. Midget LL1 took the initiative in period one and were up two goals with their strengthened forwards using strategics to keep the opponents at bay, until Dylan Dever opened up the game for Midget LL2's first goal assisted by Justin Bennett.
These two teams closely matched in ability gave each other the runaround, and the pressure was on. Midgets LL2 have worked well towards securing a place midway in the league standings ready for the playoffs but struggled with holding back their opponents until they changed their tactics in period two. Their defensemen held strong and they took the lead in period two with goal three and four being scored by Rhett Fleming, assisted by Justin Bennett and Sam Willoughby.
Period 3 was fast and furious and the LL2 eased into their final goals, finishing the game with a 7–2 win. Finishing scorers were Justin Besley, assisted by Justin Bennett, Nick Loucks goal 6 and a hat trick for Rhett Fleming goal seven.
The coaching staff would like to thank their sponsors, who make the hockey season possible and look forward to their next up and coming game against Orro Medonte.
