The
Northern Hawks let a two-goal, third period lead slip away as
they settled for a 3-3 tie against the Arborg Ice Dawgs in day
one action at the Keystone Cup Western Canadian Jr. B
Championship in Sherwood Park, Alta.
Thunder Bay Jr. B/Juvenile/AAA Hockey League leading scorer Josh
Elvish would give the Hawks the lead as he buried a shorthanded
marker with four minutes remaining in the opening period.
Elvish would increase the cushion to a pair 4:21 into the middle
frame only to see Arborg’s Brett Barkman answer back a minute
and a half later.
Nathan Spina would restore the Hawks’ two-goal lead as he struck
33 seconds into the final stanza.
Jeff English then beat Thunder Bay netminder Jordan George to
make it 3-2 with 8:59 remaining.
English would then notch the equalizer with just over five
minutes to go to salvage a point for the Manitoba Jr. B
champions.
The Ice Dawgs would out shoot the Northern Hawks by a 47-35
margin with George making 44 saves while Nick Anderson had 32
stops for Arborg.
The Hawks return to the ice twice Friday as they’ll meet the
host Sherwood Park Knights at 11:30 a.m. MT as well as the
Saskatchewan Jr. B champion Pilot Butte Storm at 5:30 p.m. MT.
