Novice C2 Lions sweep pair of weekend games

 

Once again the Morrisburg Junior B Lions were unable to hang on. 

Holding the St. Lawrence Division’s second place Char-Lan Rebels to a 1-1 first period tie, here Friday night and then going up 2-1 in the second period, it again, fell apart for the Lions who settled for a 4-2 loss due to two unanswered third period goals.

The Rebels were first on the scoreboard with a Matthew Lapointe goal at 5:56 of the first period. 

The Lions charged back and answered to tie the game with a power-play goal at 10:26 from Grant Cooper assisted by Drew Veenstra and Matthew Burns.

Just over five minutes into the second period, Michael Paquette struck to give the Lions a 2-1 lead and they held on to their advantage until well into the third period.

Assisting Paquette were Taylor Eamon and Drew Veenstra.

Then in the third, the Lions were holding their own when they were nabbed for a short-handed goal from the Rebels, Lawson MacDougall at 7:22 which tied it 2-2.

Just over one minute later Connor Primeau beat Lions goaltender Ryan Cooper to put them up 3-2 and that was it.

The Rebels got one more on their power play from former Lion Michel Lefebvre for their 4-2 win.

It was the 18th win of the season for the Rebels which they combined with a 6-3 win against Gananoque, Saturday night, to now trail the first place Casselman Rebels by nine points with the regular season quickly winding down.

The Rebels out shot the Lions by a slim 34-30 shots. Alex Boileau was in the net for their win.

The Rebels scored one power play goal in seven opportunities, while the Lions were good for one in their 13 chances.

In other St. Lawrence Division action, the Casselman Vikings defeated Brockville 4-3 and Athens 2-0. Saturday they were on Cornwall Island where they lost to the Akwesasne Wolves 5-3.

It was a big weekend for the Wolves who also knocked off the Rideau Division’s second place Westport Rideaus, 6-3.

With the Winchester Hawks losing both of their games, to Brockville 4-3 and Gananoque 6-4, the Wolves were able to take possession of the St. Lawrence Division’s third place spot, four points up on the Hawks who do have a game in hand.

Members of the Morrisburg Golf Club will have some new blood on their executive for the 2012 season with five officers not returning to the executive for another term, including long-time president Sam Laurin and secretary Alice McNairn.

The two, along with 1st vice-president Garry O’Neill, club captain Lance LePage and greens chairman Bob Youmelle, all chose not to return, which opened the door for some new people. 

The club’s annual fall meeting was held at the clubhouse on Sunday, October 30.

Moving up from the second vice president’s chair, to take over as the club’s president was Jason Broad. Barry Henderson was elected 1st vice president and Mick Mabo got the nod as 2nd vice president.

Longtime treasurer, Sean Boulerice was returned, and Candy Jamieson was elected secretary to replace Alice McNairn who retired her position after 17 years.

Shawn Hummel was elected to replace Youmelle as greens chair.

Elected as club captain was Bob Mann. Lori-Anne Davies was returned as ladies captain by the ladies section of the club earlier this fall as was Lawrence Larocque as the senior’s representative.

Although the club has been battling decreases in the membership for the past two or three years, the membership decided, that with the economic climate as it is, an increase in the membership fees for the 2012 season would not be a good idea.

A reduced fee initiative for new members this past year, was successful in attracting 28 new members and it was suggested that it be run again next year.

IROQUOIS-The Seaway Kickers U13 Mixed team began the 2013 season on June 6th against the Ottawa Internationals. The rain-soaked game at the fields at Bruff Park in Gloucester, saw the return of many players from last year’s squad.

This year’s team has 19 players, coached by Frank Waytowich and Sid Markell.

Seaway controlled the ball for a majority of the first half keeping the ball in Ottawa’s end. The Internationals scored first on a penalty kick at the 27 minute mark of the first half, to go up 1-0. 

Seaway out shot Ottawa, 10-3 for the half.

More pressure was applied by the Kickers, who dominated ball possession throughout the second half as the rain intensified.

At the 47 minute mark, Connor Dumoulin scored on a shot set up by Johnny Coligan, low to the left corner of the net to tie the game 1-1.

Coligan collected his second assist of the night, setting up Brayden Blacquiere-Rizk’s off-the-body shot into the Ottawa net, to make it 2-1 Seaway.

Ottawa struggled to tie the game, however, Seaway’s defense kept the ball out of their own end with only two attempts at Seaway’s net being made.

Seaway applied pressure late in the second half attempting four shots in less than two minutes, but the clock ran out.

Final score: Seaway Kickers 2, Ottawa Internationals 1.

Seaway out shot Ottawa 18-5. Shawn Dowson and Travis McInnis shared goalkeeping duties.

The U13M Kickers visit Nepean City in Ottawa, June 13, followed by a three game tournament on the weekend in Ottawa.
