2012-01-16
On Sunday night, the Junior Miners took to the road and visited the hometown Pictou County Scotians for a 7:30pm tilt in Trenton at the Trenton Arena.
In Trenton the teams played a scoreless first period with Glace Bay holding a comfortable 17-11 shot advantage.
In the second Jordan Langlois had the Jr. Miners up 1-0 with his 12th of the season and only goal of the period from Colin MacKinnon and Brett McCarron. Once again the Jr. Miners owned the shot clock at 14-7 for a 2-period total of 31-18.
In the third period Colin MacKinnon scored his 5th goal in just 4 games since joining the Glace Bay squad. Sam Johnson and Kevin Cormier drew the assists. Four minutes later Kenny Routledge had the Jr. Miners up 3-0 when he finished with McCarron and MacKinnon and for MacKinnon his third point of the night and 13th point of the year. Just past the mid-point of the final period Pictou’s Brad Daley was finally able to find the back on the Glace Bay net and get the Scotians to within two at 3-1. Tim Robertson and Devon Cameron drew the assists.
Justin Brewer picked up the win blocking 25 of 26 shots fired his way. Ben Goss was a lot busier facing 53 shots. The Jr. Miners pick up another 2 points to improve to 11-11-1-1 while the struggling Scotians drop to 2-20-2-1.
The Junior Miners take to the ice next weekend with a pair of games against the Cumberland Blues with a 7:30pm start on Saturday and host the Blues again on Sunday with a rare 2:00pm start which will be Minor Hockey Day where any kid wearing a Minor Hockey Jersey from any association will be admitted at no charge accompanied by an adult.
