Saturday morning was a meeting of epic proportions, with first-place “Green Machine” facing off against the second-place Red team in Kincardine Novice House League action. 

With the standing so tight and the margin for error low, the pressure was on these skilled Novice vets to put another one in the win column.

The game began with a bang, with the Red team taking a breakaway only to have the door shut by Cole Hackett-Price. The skates sure seemed sharp from the stands. 

A puck battle ensued in the corners, and Mack Beisel skated out front and took a feed from Cam Fletcher to open scoring for the Green Machine. 

Red replied five minutes later with the tying goal, only to be answered yet again by Beisel shortly after. 

The second period was hard-fought with several break-outs and rushes both ways. With time winding down in the second, Fletcher motored past the defending unit to find the seven-hole and in the net. 

This game was very exciting. Both teams were looking hungry for the win during the third. 

Red opened the period with a tying goal. One minute later, Bryan Nicholson, with his first goal, found the puck pop out the scrum and whacked it into the back of the net.

Beisel solidified the hat-trick to make the final score 5-3 in favour of the “Green Machine”. 

 

Recognition shout-outs go to Dakota Christie-Wylds for hard skating and a good effort, and Bailey Pierson for great pressure, and puck movement. Bryan Nicholson’s goal turned out to be a game-tying and game-winning goal.

Great work, Green Machine!
