Floradale advances to finals with overtime win over Bethel

FLORADALE 3 – BETHEL 2

This was the deciding game in the best-of-three A Division semi-finals. While both teams wanted to get the early lead, it was Floradale who struck for the only goal in the first period. Tim Martin fed the puck to Mike Martin, who snapped the shot in for the goal.

Bethel tied the game early in the second. Matt Smith set up Brock Shoemaker. A quick shot and the game was tied.

Floradale regained the lead a minute later when Dan Martin started the play and worked the puck to Ryan Martin who buried the puck for the goal.

Bethel fought back and tied the game again late in the period. Mike Seiling and Mike Veens stormed the Floradale zone, but it was Shoemaker who finished the play and tied the game.

The tie was not solved in the third period, so the game went into sudden-death overtime. Midway through the extra period Nick Martin passed the puck to Tim Martin. A quick shot and Floradale advanced to the finals.

MISSIONARY 4 – LISTOWEL 1

The final game in the B Division semi-finals saw Missionary take the lead in the first and never look back.

Missionary scored once in the first, twice in the second and one final goal in the third. Listowel netted a goal to open the third, but it wasn’t enough to avoid the loss.

Curtis Bults led the Missionary charge with two goals and one assist.

The other goals were secured by Paul Vandenberg and Ryan Roth. Tom Chambers earned a pair of assists, while  Brandon Bults, Steve Slot and Brandon Murray each had one assist.

Phil Shantz scored the only Listowel goal after pouncing on a loose puck.
