The Scotiabank Novices turned the tables on the Saugeen Shores Team #1 on Wednesday night at The Coliseum. After being shut-out Monday night, Scotiabank returned the favour registering their own blanking 1 - 0, evening the series at a game a-piece. The deciding match will be played Friday 19 March at 5:45pm in Port Elgin. This was only the 2nd shut-out that Team #1 had against them this year. The first one was coincidently also by a 1 - 0 score and handed out also by Scotiabank during the regular season. Sandwiched between these two playoff games, Scotiabank obtained a much needed practice in which they held a very intense up-tempo session. This benefit almost backfired, as at times the players seemed to be running out of gas but whenever one person would tire their linemates would pick up the slack. All three lines and both sets of defence played a balanced, controlled game. Reed Stauffer played awesome in goal and for his effort was awarded the Digger Award player of the game. Desmond Gouin was recognized as the second star of the game for his excelllent two-way performance as well as scoring the only goal of the game unassisted mid-way through the first period. Next practice is scheduled for Thursday 18th March at 6:30pm in Southampton.
