The Kincardine Novice House League No. 2 team hosted two opponents on the weekend, and notched two shut-out wins.

Saturday, the Green Machine hosted team No. 1 “Blue”, and won, 3-0, in a hard-fought game. 

Carson Boettinger had the shut-out. Doing their part to limit the shots faced by the netminder was the defensive core of Aidan Berkman/Roland Spencer and Reilly Colhoun/Cam Fletcher. 

Mack Beisel continued his scoring prowess with a hat-trick on the day, assists coming from Reilly Colhoun and Aidan Berkman, respectively. Forwards Bailey Pierson, David Ulak, Cole Hackett-Price, Gabby Legge, Dakota Christie-Wylds, and Bryan Nicholson deserve credit for stepping up their play and grinding down the “Blue” opponents to help the team to its third win of the year.

Sunday saw the Arran-Elderslie Ice Dogs come to town for a match against the Green Machine. Since this was an inter-league game, the green shirts were set aside so that Team No. 2 could don the White/Orange/Black jerseys of a Kincardine Kinuck, and serve the hometown well they did. 

With a close opening period, neither team was able to draw first blood. The game remained 0-0 heading into the second where things were about to open up! 

After a quick first intermission pep talk and change of the lines, Green Machine showed those dogs some new tricks and scored six unanswered goals in the second frame.

Four goals came off the stick of Mack Beisel and two off the stick of Carson Boettinger who traded in his goalie pads for a missile launcher! Assists on two of the goals belonged too Cam Fletcher and David Ulak. 

Those who worked hard but did not show up on the score sheet are Roland Spencer, Reilly Colhoun, Bryan Nicholson, and Dakota Christie-Wylds.

With one more goal added in the third period by Mack Beisel (five on the day), goalie Cole Hackett-Price was able to seal the shut-out, helped along by the play of his defence, Aidan Berkman, Bailey Pierson and Emilio Colley-Aquino.

Great weekend of hockey, Green Machine!

Let’s carry that momentum into next week’s game against the “Cougars”, 11a.m. at the Davidson Centre!
