Back to back with Tillsonburg
The Dove Dental Peewee Express AE's would find themselves playing 2 games against their highway 19 rivals Tillsonburg.
Game 1 was Jan 29th in Ingersoll.
Tillsonburg was able to pull ahead 2-0 through 2 periods, despite great goaltending by #1 T. Belore. Our boys had opportunities, the puck just wouldn't bounce the right way.
Period 3 seen Tillsonburg outshoot our boys & resulted in 4 more goals. However not giving up, the Express were able to get their first of the game with 5:04 left in the period. #18 C. McNeil streaking up the ice made a pass to #11 R. Condotta who tapped it past the goalie. Then only 13 seconds later, #17 E. Cuthbert took the puck up the ice & put it right past the goalie. Tillsonburg would score with only 51 seconds left to end the game with a 7-2 win.
Game 2 found Ingersoll heading to Tillsonburg on Feb 3rd.
Tillsonburg would outshoot the Express boy through the 1st period & found themselves up 2-0. The period would end with the Tornadoes thinking & acting like they were going to have the same result as the previous game.
However period 2 seen our boys outshoot Tillsonburg & get the first goal of the period at 8:26 with #17 E. Cuthbert taking the puck up the ice & beating the Tillsonburg goalie. Tillsonburg would get another one to end period 2 up 3-1.
Period 3 had the Express score just 55 seconds in. #18 C. McNeil made a pass behind his own net to #3 B. Wright who had open ice & took advantage of it. He skated in just over the blue line, took a shot scoring top corner. That was the only scoring during the period thanks to some great saves by #1 T. Belore, great back checking & great teamwork by all the boys.
Final: Ingersoll 2 Tillsonburg 3
