David’s Lions, the best in the west, eliminate South Grenville

March 20, 2013 Editor Sports

 

The South Dundas Peewee B House #2 Lions squeaked out a very close, come from behind, 2-1 win over South Grenville here Monday night to claimed the UCMHL West Division Championship and earn the right to advance to the league final against the South Dundas House #1 team.

A Jack Coville goal for South Grenville late in the first period did the talking throughout most of the game.

It came to a dramatic conclusion however, in the final minutes of the game when Grant Wells, with help from Dean Lapier and Colin Minish, finally put the Lions on the scoreboard to tie it 1-1.

Then with the seconds ticking away, and just 23 left, it was Adam Lapier, with help from Minish, who put it away for the Lions.

Game one of the four point series was played way back on March 7, in Morrisburg, with the Lions again squeaking out a close 2-1 victory.

Monday night they were first out of the starting block with an unassisted second period goal from Julenea Barnhartd.

Then early in the third period, Dean Lapier converted a Brooke Lapier and Trinity Hanes set up for a 2-0 Lions advantage.

South Grenville got one back from Robert Purcell late in the third to cut the gap to a single goal,  but that was it. 

After an opening playoff round bye, the House #2 Lions defeated the Kemptville 2s in two straight games in round two.

Game one was played in Morrisburg, on February 28, with the Lions taking a 3-2 win on goals by Oakley Beavers (unassisted), Kolbey Hamilton (assisted by Colin Minish) and Trinity Hanes (assisted by Julenea Barnhartd).

They wrapped up the four point series in Kemptville, on Saturday, March 2, with a 4-1 victory. This time out goaltender Sam Waytowich, gave up the lone Panthers goal early in the first period.

The Lions didn’t get it rolling until the third period when they counted four unanswered markers for the win.

Goals came from the sticks of Oakley Beavers (from Brody Smail), Kolbey Hamilton (from Grant Wells), Brody Smail (from Dean Lapier) and Adam Lapier (unassisted.)

Season end Sunday for Junior Lions

February 11, 2015 Editor Sports

The Morrisburg Junior B Lions will end their season with a home and home series against the Akwesasne Wolves this weekend. Sunday, will be their final home game for the 2014-15 season when they will entertain the Wolves in a match that will start at 2:30 p.m.

This past week, the Lions travelled to Casselman where they were handed an 8-2 loss by the first place Vikings, and then on Saturday night, they took it to a shoot out before they gave up the loss to the hosting Char-Lan Rebels, 3-2.

Saturday night at the Char-Lan Rec Centre, it was a good, close game that ended in a two-goal draw to force overtime and eventually a shoot out.

After a scoreless first period, David Poirier put the Rebels on the scoreboard on their power play.

At 12:48 of the second, Curtis Evans (from Jacob Guilliot and Ryan Griffin) tied the game 1-1.

Brennan Markell made it 2-1, Rebels at 18:06, and that’s the way it stayed until early in the third period.

This time it was the Lions power play that got the results at 3:19 of the frame.

Jacob Kendrick and Jordan Smail provided the setup for a Michael Paquette goal which tied the game 2-2.

It stayed that way to force the overtime during which, neither the Lions Keiran Weir nor the Rebels Kevan Dumouchel would give anything more up to force the decision to the shoot out.

Selected to shoot for the Lions were Paquette, Jacob Kendrick and Alex Sifton and getting the nod for the Rebels were Brennan Markell, Matthew Gregoire and Quintin MacDonnell.

 Kendrick had the only success for the Lions, while Markell and MacDonnell both beat Weir for the 3-2 win.

Thursday night, February 5, the Lions were in Casselman where they were handed an 8-2 blow by the division leading Casselman Vikings.

The Vikings led 4-0 after the first period, and 6-0 after two.

The Lions got on the scoreboard in the third period with a pair of goals from the stick of Michael Paquette at 6:07 and again at 6:15.

Jacob Guilliot assisted on both goals. Jordan Smail also helped out on the first and Landon Veenstra on the second.

Keiran Weir started for the Lions and was relieved by Brett Hahn.

The Lions are on the road to take on the Wolves this Saturday night, February 14 and at home against the Wolves on Sunday afternoon.

Neither will see playoff action this year.
