Kemptville 73’s Alex Row (20) skates behind the Pembroke Lumber Kings’ Peter Brooks (1) to beat Lumber Kings player Jacob Kamps (15) to the puck during action at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Feb. 10.
Congratulations to the Kemptville 73’s Nick Hodgins who was named the CCM/HESN Player of the Week in the CCHL. Nick allowed only two goals on 79 shots for a .67 GAA, .975 Save Percentage and earning a first and third game star. The Carp native is leading the CCHL in Save % (.928), second in shut-outs (4) and third with 2.42 GAA. Bobby Dow also received an honourable mention. On Friday, Feb. 10, the Pembroke Lumber Kings dropped in at the municipal centre in North Grenville. Pembroke is struggling this year as they are in a rebuilding phase but they always come ready to play. Friday was no exception. The teams played a scoreless first period of hard, fast hockey. In the second, Kemptville turned on their smothering defensive game and limited the Kings to just six shots on goal. Neal Samanski scored his ninth of the season at 3:59. Drawing the assists were Quinn Wichers and Noah Rowe. Matt Tugnutt put the 73’s ahead by two with a shorthanded effort. Liam Hunter and Tyler Beauparlant set it up. The third marker of the frame was a power play goal from the captain, Alex Row. Jake Gaudet and Bobby Dow picked up the helpers. Leading 3-0 in the third, Kemptville continued its strong defensive play, turning takeaways into scoring chances. Rowe and Beauparlant sent Tyson Kirkby in on net which resulted in Kemptville’s second short handed goal of the game. The 73’s defeated the Lumber Kings 4-0. The 73’s outshot the Kings 44-20.
Peter Brooks earned the shutout, his first in the CCHL, earning the first star award. Tyler Beauparlant was named second star for his two-point performance. Sunday, Feb. 12, had the Nepean Raiders visit Kemptville for a matinee. The first period was very sluggish with what appeared to be both teams going through the motions. The second period was a different animal completely. The 73’s outshot the Raiders by a 23-9 margin. Alex Row opened the scoring with his 22nd of the year from Jake Gaudet and Adam Alavi. One minute later, Victor Tracy made it 2-0 for Kemptville. The goal was set up by Tyson Kirkby and Brandon Bastasin. The Raiders got one back two minutes later. Before the end of the period Jake Gaudet scored his tenth of the season. The assists went to Tyler Beauparlant and Bastasin. Going into the third with a 3-1 lead, the 73’s were determined to grab the two points but the Raiders stepped up their game as well. Neither team made any headway. The final score was a 3-1 victory in favour of Kemptville. Jake Gaudet and Brandon Bastasin were named first and second star respectively. There are two opportunities to catch your team before the playoffs start. On Friday, Feb. 17, the Cornwall Colts will invade Kemptville for a 7:30 p.m. game. Then, on Sunday, Feb. 19, the Smiths Falls Bears leave the den to come to North Grenville to play the 73’s. There are only five home games left before the playoffs. Come out and see some exciting hockey. Feel the heat! Catch 73’s fever!
