A
six-goal second period surge gave the Screaming Eagles their
first-ever
Thunder Bay Jr.
B/Juvenile/AAA Hockey League
victory Thursday evening as they downed the Nipigon Elks 7-1 at
Delaney Arena.
Following a scoreless opening period the Eagles erupted for four
goals in the
first seven minutes of the middle frame on a pair of tallies from
Justin Peters
as well as solo markers supplied by Matt Mitchell and Kirk Meekis.
Cole Saunders would then register Nipigon’s lone effort before
Ryan Witherspoon
and Travis Tom answered back for the Eagles to make it 6-1 after
40 minutes.
Kyle Gardner would then round out the scoring in the third as his
side improved
to 1-9-2 on the year while the Elks slipped to 6-6-4.
Jesse Wawia-Boucher chipped in a major way offensively for the
first-year club,
dishing out four assists on the night.
Curtis Barker had a strong game between the pipes for the Eagles
making 43
saves as his teammates fired 45 shots on both Nipigon starter Ryan
Williams and
Thomas Gratz, who provided a 33-minute relief spell.
The next league contest goes Sunday as the Eagles take on the
first place
Northern Hawks back at Delaney. Game time is 8 p.m.
