were making it a great game to watch. 1st
goal went to Delhi at 5:53 with a shot that just slipped under our goalies leg. 1st penalty went to Ingersoll #18
Cameron at 2:08 for too many players on the ice during a shift change. Despite being one short Henry #10 managed to

2nd Period – Delhi penalty at 7:36 for slashing and we were on power play. Great pass by #11 Kalvin. Carson with a shot on Delhi net – blocked.

At 2:02 #2 Brayden Peter scored assisted by #9 Brayden Shorey bringing the game to 1-1.
3rd Period – The third period started with a penalty at 9:01 to #17 Kingsley for slashing. No goals during the power play for Delhi but Logan made three great saves. Carson regained the puck and a great shot that went off the crossbar. Delhi took control and got a breakaway. Liam #4 reaching the puck just in time to slow the shot on net. Our third penalty came at 2:40 #17 slashing and it was a nailbitter. With just over two minutes left we were tied and were now down a player. With that #18 Cameron scored a short ended goal at 1:57. Delhi pulled their goalie and the next two minutes were the longest two minutes with both teams putting in full effort. Finally in the final seconds we were full force and managed to hold on to the win!
