The second period showcased great skating by Stevens right to the net but the shot was wide. Nice shots by Long and Burrows were saved by the Mt Forest goalie. Mt Forest got one by Luinstra in net on the rebound 2-1. Kincardine got a penalty for too many men but no further scoring took place against Luinstra. The action continued in both ends throughout the second period but no more goals.
At the beginning of the third period Kincardine looked a little tired and got a penalty in the first 5 minutes followed by one for Mt Forest, and a power play goal to Owen Jones assisted by Potter, 3-1. With their energy back the next goal to Sharpe from Burrows and Potter making it 4-1. Great save by Luinstra keeps it that way. Good work by Jonesy but he is denied by the Rams goalie and fabulous great passing Long to Burrows and in. Final 5-1.
Amazing weekend fellows, great team playing by all. The only team members who didn’t get a point were goalies Luinstra and Primeau and thanks to them for some great goaltending as well.
