2 Remembrance Day Games
The Holiday Thursday remembering our veterans who fought and died provided NSJHL Teams with time to reflect at 11:11a.m. before four teams hit the ice for a pair of league games in the afternoon. In Liverpool at the Queens Place Emera Centre:
Antigonish 5 Liverpool 3
The AA Munro Jr. Bulldogs won their 9th consecutive game of the 21-22 season 5-3 over the Liverpool Privateers. The offensive juggernauts of the Bulldogs all had huge games as Fearghus MacDonald scored twice and added two assists while Sam Mattie and Jake MacDonald each scored once and added 3 assists. Ryan MacLellan added the other Antigonish goal. The AA Munro Bulldogs held period leads of 2-1 and 3-2 before Josh Nicholson tied it for the Privateers 7:40 into the third.
