The Shelburne Junior C Vets opened the 2015 season with a home game against the Halton Hills Bulldogs at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Centre in Shelburne on Sunday, May 10.
It wasn’t the outcome the Vets were hoping for when they had to leave the arena after being shut-out by the visitors.
Halton Hills opened the scoring on a powerplay with a single in the first period.
They followed up with four unanswered goals in the second frame.
Three more in the final period sealed the deal after the Vets failed to get past the Bulldogs goalie.
Vets goalie Rhett Flemming got his first Junior C start for the squad playing the first two periods.
He was replaced by Wade Sawyers who took over the the third.
The Vets didn’t play a bad game. They out-shot the Halton team 36–34 for the night and kept pace with the Bulldogs for the duration – they just couldn’t get one in the net.
“Their goalie was just amazing for the Bulldogs and was the big difference in this one,” said Vets GM Barry Trood.
The Ontario Junior C Lacrosse League has 15 entered in two divisions for this season. That’s two less teams than last year.
The Vets got a bit of a late start for their season with some teams already having four games behind them but the schedule will level out once the season goes on.
The Shelburne will have two back to back games this coming weekend – one at home and one on the road.
On Friday, May 15, the team will play their second home game when they host the Caledon Bandits at the CDRC with an 8 p.m. start.
The will play their second game of the weekend the following night, Saturday, May 16, when they travel to Six Nations.
That game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
