Last Friday the Mounties visited the Woodstock Navy Vets for a scheduled PJHL game. In the 6th minute of the first period, the Navy Vets took a 2-0 lead, followed by a Mountie goal by Grant Eastwood (assisted by Cole Main) at the 10 minute mark. The second period the Mounties out scored the Vets with goals by Wil Curren (Kaiden Gignac assisted) and an unassisted goal by Jacob Wilkinson resulting in a 3-3 tie The third period’s first goal was a Woodstock power play goal, followed by an unassisted goal by Paris’ Jacob Wilkinson. With 2 minutes left in regulation, Woodstock broke the tie to take a 5-4 win over the Mounties.
Saturday night the Mounties welcomed the Hespeler Shamrocks The first period, although scoreless, was filled with 6 power play opportunities for Hespeler. The second period ended with the Mounties trailing 2-1 with Josh Schell scoring and assisted by Aidan Switzer and Ryan O’Keefe. The Mounties trailed Hespeler until the halfway point when Tye Wetzel scored to tie up the game at two goals each and into overtime Unfortunately three minutes in, Hespeler received a power play opportunity and scored to win in overtime.
Paris Mounties #29 Grant Eastwood scored the first goal in last Friday’s game against the Woodstock Navy Vets. Paris ended up losing 5-4 after Woodstock tied the game in the third period on a powerplay goal.
Monday night, the Woodstock Navy Vets came to the BSC to face the Mounties who were hoping to get a win on their home ice. Kaidan Gignac scored the only goal of the first period. The second period ended in a 2-2 tie, with Cole Main rushing to the net to deflect Bhrett Hibbert’s pass the Woodstock goalie. The third period featured a Woodstock goal to break the tie and win the game.
The Mounties are a better team compared to the beginning of the season, but if they continue to play a man short, by giving 24 power plays in 3 games to the opposition, they’ll never know how good they can be.
Next home game is tonight at 7:30 p.m. when the Wellesley Applejacks visit the Brant Sports Complex.
