On Tuesday (March 9) the St.
Christopher Cyclones defeated the
General Amherst Bulldogs by a score
of 5-3 in the SWOSSAA "A/AA" boy’s
hockey final. The game, played in
Amherstburg, was a see-saw battle.
Although the Cyclones jumped into a
three goal lead, Amherst battled
back with two goals in the second
period. St. Chris capitalized on an
early third period scoring
opportunity to go up 4-2, but
Amherst answered with a goal three
minutes later to make the score 4-3
for St. Chris with 10 minutes
remaining in the game. Amherst
applied incredible pressure in an
effort to tie the game, but St.
Chris' Jeff Scroeter scored a key
goal with three minutes left in the
game to re-establish St. Chris' two
goal cushion at a critical point in
the game. With the Amherst goalie
pulled for a sixth attacker St.
Chris withstood the Amherstburg
barrage that ensued to hold on to
the 5-3 win.
Outstanding St. Chris goaltending
was provided by Colton James and
timely goals throughout the game by
St. Chris resulted on their victory.
Garret Schauteet opened the scoring
for St. Chris 5 minutes into the
game that set the tone for the game
which never saw St. Chris relinquish
the lead.
Nic Sproverio led St. Chris
scoring with a goal and two assists.
Pietro Restivo and Keegan Brandon
each had a goal and an assist and
Tom Flamminio and Matt Cimetta each
chipped in with two helpers.
The St. Christopher Cyclones Boys
Hockey Team travel to St. Catharines
on March 22-25 to attend the
Provincial School Championship
Tournament (OFSAA). This will be the
first time in the school’s history
that the Cyclones hockey team has
qualified for this prestigious
provincial championship tournament. |
