After four weeks of round-robin play in the Sunday Night Junior Men’s Hockey League, the top four teams from the regular season are bunched at the top of the post- season standings.
That situation just got more solid after last Sunday’s action.
Moose 5, Blades 1
In a game that was tightly played at both ends of the ice, the Mr. Handyman Moose were able to dull the Ken’s Lawn Mower Repairs Blades and skate away with all five points (one point is awarded for winning a period, two points for winning the game and if a period is tied, each team gets half a point).
Brad Sztorc and Cam Coulter were the go-to guys this night, each bagging a brace and adding a helper, while Eric Cirone got the other marker plus a helper for the Moose. The other helper was from Steve Brown.
The Blades’ lone bin bulger was Jason Clark from Darren Jones.
Predators 3, Penguins 1
The second game was another tight battle with the Inside Out Family Chiropractic Predators taking 4.5 of five points from the George’s Arena Sports Penguins.
Mark Metcalfe was all that the Predators needed on this night as he netted them all with help from Colin Fyffe, Howard Cantelon, Kyle Bagg and Tim Vokey.
The Penguins’ power was Brandon Scott from Dave Matheson.
Wings 4, Wild 1
The St. Louis Bar and Grill Red Wings continued to fly with a win over the Pommies Cider Co Wild, taking four of five points in the flight.
Wings’ whippers were Daniel Hamlett from Derek Clearly, Shane DeLaronde from Hamlett, Victor Ranieri from DeLaronde, and Bob McHardy from Rob Thibeault.
The Wild whaler was Eric Webster (unassisted).
Fire 2, Warriors 1
In the last game of the night, the Ainsley Fire Protection Fire were burning up and took it to the We Are Creative Warriors, taking four of five points and keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Fire finishers were Shane Ainsley from Sandro Mignosa and Steve Whitten, and Mark Andreoli from Mike Horsley.
The Warriors’ lone marksman was Lee Noseworthy (unassisted).
After four games in the round robin the standings the Moose and Wings tied with 16.5 points, followed by the Predators with 15, Warriors with 14, Fire with eight, Wild with four, Blades with 3.5 and Penguins with 2.5.
