The Glencoe Lions Novice Shamrock hosted game 4 against the mighty Ridgetown Rebels.
This was the third game against Ridgetown in round robin play for OMHA playdowns
Both teams skated hard in the opening period as parents were having trouble staying in their seats to see 0 -0 tie after one period. The second period was sure to open up in more ways than one. Ridgetown opened the scoring up at the 12:27 mark of the second. The bullets skated hard to tie the game back up 1 minute later the goal going to Brad McAlpine unassisted. Ridgetown showed their strength on the ice and scored five more goals in a span of five minutes. The Bullets sniped another goal in the dying minutes of the second at 1:25 mark remaining McAlpine notching another one unassisted. With the scoreboard marking 6-2 after the second. The Bullets still had this game within reach but the penalty filled game turned out to be a special teams dual instead. It was all Rebels until the six minute mark left in the game with them scoring three goals over the past 9 minutes of the third. Bullets starting their own scoring again with the face off in the Ridgetown end where McAlpine won the face off clean and used his backhand to feed the puck to John Van Bilsen. Van Bilsen using his “one timer” to beat the goalie. (the goalie never had a chance). Twenty seconds later in the same faceoff corner McAlpine tried the same patent move which was fed to Van Bilsen who then fed it to Jaxon Aubertin who proved his “one timer” was just as good! These two quick goals woke up the Rebels and they scored four more goals. The Bullets kept working and their effort paid off with Wyatt Johnson poking one past the Rebels goalie assisted by Aubertin and Jordan McIntyre.
The score board did not indicate the game as it was more an end to end game. MR Big winners were Brad McAlpine and Noble Stonefish.
