The Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League’s Divisional Semi-Finals begin Thursday night in Trenton as the Pictou County Scotians entertain the Membertou Jr. Miners in a 6:30 start.  The Scotians and Jr. Miners clashed four times during the regular season with the Jr. Miners winning 6-4 and 6-1 and the Scotians 4-3 and 3-2, both via a shoot-out.  The Scotians will be leaning heavily on net minder Brandon Connors who finished with a 7-1-0 win-loss record during the regular season while stopping 252 of a possible 265 shots for a .951 save percentage and a 1.55 GAA while in the process collecting three shut-outs.  The Scotians averaged 3.5 goals a game during the season while allowing on average 3 goals a game. It will be the Scotians defence and goaltending which has been standing out as they had only a single two-digit goal scorer in Connor Aucoin who scored 13 times and added 13 assists.  Thomas Kennaley scored 9 times and Matt Carson 8 times while helping out with 11 others.
