Eskasoni wins 2 on the weekend, Scotians rebound

The Eskasoni Jr. Eagles completed a successful weekend in Brookfield Saturday afternoon Nov 6 as they squeaked by the Brookfield Elks 5-4 to give them two wins against Fred Fox Division Teams, this after their 6-3 win over the Capstone Colts Friday at C.F.B. Shearwater.  The Eagles jumped out early and took a 3-0 lead over the Elks on goals from MacKenzie Erickson, Jacob Denny and Thomas Simon before the Elks regrouped and tied the game 3-3.  Calem McAndrew scored the final goal of the first to make it 3-1 Jr. Eagles after one period.  Connor Miller and Luke MacDonald both scored in the second for the Elks on the power-play as the Jr. Eagles ran into some penalty troubles.  It stayed 3-3 until Kinnon Williams scored the first of his two on the afternoon for Eskasoni with 5:47 to play in the second.   With five minutes elapsed in the third period, Williams recorded his 2nd marker of the afternoon to put Eskasoni up 5-3 but the Elks refused to quit as Noah Latimer scored with 3:19 to play to make it 5-4 Eskasoni but try as they might, the Elks could not get the equalizer and lost 5-4.  The Jr. Eagles now 3-7-0 on the season outshot the 0-6-1 Elks 46-32.

The Scotians rebounded from their 6-3 loss in Windsor to the Valley Maple Leafs Friday Nov 5th to blank the Cumberland County Blues 6-0.  It was the first of two games the Blues would play against the Scotians this weekend with Saturday’s game being a make-up game.  Connor Aucoin who finished with a 4 point afternoon with two goals and 2 assists scored his first on the power-play less than five minutes into the opening period which also proved to be the game winner.  Aucoin made it 4-0 Scotians mid-way through the second period.  Between Aucoin’s 2 goals, Cale MacLaughlin made it 2-0 in the first period with only 41 seconds to play and then Zach Houston who also had an assist tallied to make it 3-0 8:47 into the second period.  Cal Marner also chipped in with 3 assists for the now 3-3-0 Scotians who outshot the 2-5-1 Blues 32-24.
Thomas Kennaley scored a pair of third period goals to make the final 6-0.
