This is the second straight week now that we’ve seen a shutout in the Bolton Senior Hockey League.
The evening started off with another impressive victory for St. Louis Bar and Grill, as they defeated Four Corners Bakery Eatery 10-4 to remain undefeated this season. Game two featured Inside Out and Niepage. Niepage’s strong second period efforts helped them fend off Inside Out’s offense enough in the third to pick up the win. In the final game of the evening, Oriana’s goalie stood on his head as he stopped all of 365 Integrated’s shots to help his team achieve a 5-0 victory.
St. Louis Bar and Grill 10,
Four Corners Bakery Eatery 4
St. Louis got on the goal sheet first as Spagnol snapped the puck into the back of the net on a two-on-one.
Four Corners’ Gillies answered quickly to tie the game. St. Louis scored three more times in the period, and Four Corners wasn’t able to answer on any of them. The goals were scored by Nelson, Kehoe and Koursousis. The horn went off to end the first, St. Louis held a substantial 4-1 lead.
Gillies scored two more goals in the second to complete the early hat trick. Koursousis came right back to reclaim his team’s multi-goal lead as they headed into the third period up 5-3. Without wasting any time, Koursousis capped another of his many hat tricks this season and added another goal on top of it to put his team up 7-3. Mark Bayley was determined to get his team back into the game as he made a nifty move past St. Louis’ blue liners and rifled the puck top shelf. However, the gap was still too large as St. Louis responded with three more goals. They were scored by Baldassarra, Westergard and Mehlenbacher.
Inside Out 4, Niepage 6
Inside Out struck first, as Morra sniped the puck passed Niepage’s net minder.
Niepage’s Magliaro tied the game up less than a minute later. This sparked a little momentum for the home team as J. Olbrytcht scored late in the period to boost Niepage to a 2-1 lead heading into the second.
Figliano scored three straight goals for Niepage in the second, giving him a hat trick in one period. Inside Out was only able to respond to one of the three goals in the frame. It was scored by Rotundo.
The teams regrouped at the beginning of the third to go over a few game plans. Rotundo picked things up where he left off in the second as he scored his second of the contest just a few minutes into the period. They were now down only 5-3. The teams went back and forth for a while, and both goalies played strong until Niepage grabbed another commanding lead late in the frame. Bond scored off a rebound to put his team up 6-3. Inside Out’s Morra scored his second of the evening to bring Inside Out back within two goals. However, it was no use. Niepage shut the door and held off Inside Out’s offense until the final buzzer went.
Oriana 5, 365 Integrated 0
The late game started out very evenly matched.
Both goalies played exceptionally. Oriana applied the most pressure in the first period and finally it paid off as they scored with just four seconds left.
From there, Oriana got the ball rolling as they scored two more in the second and two more in the third. The second period goals were scored by Wonfor and Brodie. Brodie hit the back of the net in the third period as well, and Macdonald added a late one for good measures. Oriana’s goaltender Lewis, was incredible as he stopped every shot that he faced to help his team take this one 5-0.
