MacNeil pots winner in shootout
Jack MacNeil
Blacks Harbour, NB - It wasn't a pretty one but the Bonny River Ratz managed to get two points after sputtering most of the night. After trailing 2-0 to the Charlotte County Bears on goals by Matt Clark and Ryan Logan, the Ratz got a goal in the second period from newly acquired Jim O'Halloran to get within one. That's the way it stayed until the Bears got into some late third period penalty trouble. An errant stick on Joe Stevens from Vance Barrio put him in the box for 4 minutes and put the team down by 2 as they already had a player in the box. It is worth noting that Barrio actually admitted to doing it as both on-ice officials did not see the infraction. It's good to see good sportsmanship exists. The Ratz got even with a Carl Chambers shot from the point in the 5 on 3 power play. Matt Hatt scored in the shootout for the Bears as did Joe Stevens. It took a slick move by Jack MacNeil to seal the victory. TJ Matser took the last shot only to have Ratz goalie Warren Giesbrecht get enough of it and deflect it just over the top of the net out of harm's way.
In other FIHL action, the Blacks Harbour Timberwolves continued their winning ways with a 4-1 victory over the St. George XXX.
