Eagles vs Cougars

Eagles vs. Schomberg

The Clarington Eagles entered the matchup “coming in hot” after back-to-back wins, including a massive victory over the division-leading Uxbridge Bruins.

1st Period

In a tightly contested opening frame, the Eagles held a 13–9 shot advantage. Despite the pressure, neither side could find the back of the net, leaving the game scoreless heading into the second.

2nd Period

Discipline was the story of the night, as the game saw only one penalty throughout the entire 60 minutes. Seth Clark was sent to the box for roughing, but the Eagles turned a disadvantage into an opportunity. Gianluca Meli struck shorthanded to claim the first goal of the game, with assists going to Caleb Bidgood and Connor Ivey.

3rd Period

Holding onto a slim lead five minutes into the third, the Eagles finally broke through again. We may not always like the weather, but this player is alright by us: Nolan Winter extended the lead to 2–0. Four minutes later, Seth Clark rounded out the scoring to make it 3–0.

Between the pipes, Jairus Ford was a wall, picking up a 22-save shutout in the victory.

Come fly with your Clarington Eagles!
