Mooretown Flags Stayed Out of the Box and Won
saturday november 8, 2014
The Mooretown
Flags celebrated a big win last
night in Dresden in Great Lakes
Jr. C hockey league action..
The struggling team that had
only won twice previously in
shootouts this season defeated
the Kings 5 - 3 in regulation
time.
Like the previous
game against Lakeshore penalties
were a factor, however Friday
the opposite happened.
After allowing eleven power play
opportunities on Wednesday, on
Friday the Flags allowed Dresden
just one that was scored on when
Ethan Dupont took an
interference call in the second
period. Mooretown scored
once on four power play
opportunities.
"Last nights game
in Dresden was the positive
teachable moment from the two
games," Head Coach Blake
Morrison said "It is the first
time I have witnessed this team
capitalize on its potential and
put forward a smart, consistent
60 minutes worth of hockey."
Dresden took the
lead at 4:03 in the first period
on a goal scored by Macks
Holmes. Ryan Lyle answered
back 33 seconds later with help
from Kyle Smith. At 9:28
Brett Thompson gave the Flags
the 2 - 1 lead and the period
would end with Mooretown leading
to start the second period.
After a few
fighting and roughing penalties
handed out to both teams at the
start of the period Dresden
scored on the power play by
Dillon Liverty and tied the game
at 9:51. Both sides calmed
down and played penalty free for
the rest of the period. Then
late in the second the Flags
regained the 2-1 lead when Caden
Fleming scored assisted by Matt
Brandon and Alec Segers.
Dresden came back
at 7:40 in the third and tied
the game for the last time as
David Addley scored what turned
out to be the game winner on a
power play with Caden Fleming
and Brent Blais assisting.
Brett Thompson scored an
unassisted goal at 13:36 and the
game ended with Mooretown taking
the win.
