The Bolton Senior Hockey League put up another three high scoring, action packed games Dec. 23.
Inside Out and Four Corners Bakery Eatery faced off early Wednesday evening and went back and forth until the final buzzer. Regulation solved nothing so they headed to a shootout and Four Corners came on top of this one as they took the game 8-7. The next game saw Niepage put on a clinic against Oriana. They scored more than three goals each period, which helped them win the game 11-3. The puck dropped for the late game at a 10 p.m. and it was the undefeated St. Louis Bar & Grill versus the struggling 365 Integrated. St. Louis doubled 365’s scoring and picked up yet another win as they took this one with a final score of 6-3.
Four Corners 8, Inside Out 7
The teams got on the ice and did their warm-up until the referee’s whistle blew to get this game going.
Inside Out struck early, thanks to Mark Jay who sprung Scott Andrews on a two-on-one with Tom Hoy. Andrews faked the shot, then passed it to Hoy, who scored with a wide open net. Not long after, Andrews scored a goal of his own to help improve his team’s lead. From there, Four Corners scored three unanswered goals in the first to put them up 3-2. The goals were scored by Alec Dorosh, Rick Marelli and Brad Frail.
The teams switched ends and switched period scoring as well. This time, Inside Out had three in the period and Four Corners only scored two. The game was tied at six heading into a highly anticipating third period.
Inside Out’s Andrews scored his second goal of the game to give his team the lead once again. Just more than a minute later, Four Corners’ Bobby Attwell took a low shot on Inside Out’s net minder, and the rebound went straight to Dennis Hillier and he capitalized on the opportunity. The two teams went back and forth for the next couple of minutes, until Inside Out’s Glenn MacCauslin scored late in the game, putting his team up 7-6.
With just more than two minutes to go, Four Corners pulled their goalie hoping to tie this game up. They had control in the offensive zone and suddenly the puck was in the back of the net. The game was tied thanks to Attwell.
Regulation wasn’t enough for this one, so it was down to a skills competition. Both team’s made their way to their benches and the goalies stayed put in their nets.
In the first round of the shootout, Four Corners scored and Inside Out didn’t. In the second round both teams scored. Four Corners went first for the third and final round, but was not able to capitalize. Inside Out had to score to stay alive but Four Corners’ net minder Rockin’ Ronnie Miller shut the door to help his team take this shoot out winner, with a final score of 8-7.
Niepage 11, Oriana 3
The ice was cleaned and the players headed onto the fresh surface.
This game got going quickly, as both teams exchanged three goals each in the first period. Samson, Jim Macdonald and DeSilva scored the goals for Oriana Financial, and Steve Canderan, Jan Olbrytcht and Darryl Bailey scored for Niepage Construction.
From the puck drop of the second period, Niepage went to work. They scored four goals in the second and four more in the third. Their net minder, Mike Rocchi, stood tall as he stopped all shots he faced in the final two periods. Niepage’s goals were scored by Canderan, Bailey, Darryl Bond and an unknown hockey hero who earned himself a hat trick. Other hat tricks were scored by Bailey and Bond. There were three hat tricks for one team. This is what ultimately helped Niepage soar past their opponents as they defeated them 11-3.
St. Louis Bar & Grill 6,
365 Integrated 3
The 365 Integrated team came into the game very optimistic, as they were looking to defeat the undefeated St. Louis.
With incredible offensive skill, stone cold defence and solid goaltending, St. Louis has been a force to be reckoned with for the past few months in the BSHL.
Gus Koursousis started things up for his team, scoring mid way through the first. Incredibly, it was the lone goal in the period. It was a tight, tight game, with 365 Integrated’s goalie, Jason White, stopping a lot of rubber.
Midway through the second, Koursousis scored for a second time, as he roofed the puck past 365’s White. Darryl Simpson was able to keep his team in the game as he cut the lead in half late in the period.
The teams regrouped at their benches to start the third, and it seemed as though St. Louis had the better game plan. They scored three quick goals thanks to Donny Baldassarra and two more from Koursousis, who now had three goals in the game. It was 365’s Craig McCart who scored two for his team to bring them within two goals. With less than a minute left, 365’s goalie went sprinting to his bench for the extra attacker. They weren’t as successful as Four Corners, because Koursousis got a hold of the puck and carried it down the ice to pop in his fourth goal of the game. He played a huge role in this one as he helped his team continue their undefeated ways as they took this one 6-3.
