2018-06-17
In the 2nd of a home and home the Warriors return the favour on the Mavericks winning a 15-14 thriller in Truro to keep the Warriors playoff hopes alive.
In a father Day ECJLL special, NB Mavericks travelled to Truro to face off against the Mi'kmaq Warriors in the 2nd of two back-to-back weekend games between these two teams. Both teams are on the hunt to secure a position in the playoffs and this was a critical game for that goal.
Warriors were the first to score and set the pace of this game, but the Mavericks got fired up and at the end of the first, this NB team led 7-5. This fueled the Warriors to come out hard in the 2nd, adding 7 goals to the score, while the Mavericks added 5, ending the period in a tie game 12-12.
In an epic third period, both teams fought hard to get their team the win, each team only allowing a few goals in. In the dying last minutes of the game, with the Warriors up 15-14, the Mavericks had the opportunity to tie up the game again with a penalty shot but Warriors goalie Nick MacLean stopped the Mavericks' shooter, keeping the Warriors in the lead and giving them their second win this season.
Mavericks were led in scoring today by Pete Stanger who has 5 goals and 3 assists, while Jon Magarvery has a hat trick and an assist.
Warriors' Bryson Knockwood led his team in scoring with 6 goals and 3 assists as rookie Randy Milliea scored 4 goals and 2 assists.
The league schedule has a small break this week and are back in action again with 2 games on Fri, Jun 22 as the Sackville Wolves head to Shearwater to play the Dartmouth Bandits at 7:30pm, while the Mi'kmaq Warriors will host the Halifax Hurricanes at the East Hants Sportsplex at 8pm.
