NO O.T. NEEDED THIS TIME !
The 'Air-Tech Mechanical' BANTAM REP boys are 3 for 3 with 1 game to go in their WOAA Lockridge Group B Playdowns after defeating Mount Forest on Tuesday night in Chatsworth.
After the schooling the boys got in Norwich last weekend, they put what they learned to work against the Rams.
Every one of these REBELS came out fast, matched Mount Forest's physical style of play and found themselves up by 2 goals by the end of the 1st period.
Calvin Stewart set up the first one with a pass out front that
Mitch Faust picked up and buried far side at 7:41.
Jordan Beirnes and Wyatt Golem forced a turn over by the Rams' bench, and
Austin McComb went in on a breakaway to score top corner at 6:34.
The 2nd period saw our boys successfully kill off a couple of penalties and earn another point on the board.
Jake Moran carried the puck around behind the net and put a pass on the waiting stick of
Faust who was ready for the one-timer to the back of the net at 3:38, assist going to
Stewart. The Rams answered back on a breakaway at 2:10, and the REBELS headed to the room with a 3 - 1 lead.
Mount Forest got off to a strong start in the 3rd and narrowed our lead with a goal at 10:05, but less than a minute later,
Stewart won the battle for the puck in the corner,
Faust picked it up and found
Hunter Schultz who went top shelf at 9:27.
The clock ran down with the play going end to end. The Rams pulled their goalie in the final minute for the man advantage, but that long stick of
Curtis Wade's got control of the puck and found
Moran ready to head into the offensive zone. Moran (who may or may not have known the net was empty) fired it straight on target for the final nail in the Rams' coffin.
Final Score: Rebels 5 - Rams 2
