Bishop’s College School (1) vs Stanstead College (2) East U17 Championships Semi-Final

Following an even first frame which saw both teams shoot 10-shots a piece, no one was able to find an answer past Gabriel Poitras (28/29) or Dax Doiron (31/33). It wasn’t until Bishop’s College received a powerplay in the second where we would find our first goal. Defenseman Nate Ostridge would wire home a wrister from the point, beating Poitras top corner to give Bishop’s the initial lead. Bishop’s would carry this lead into the second but Stanstead came out swinging early. Captain Emanuel Ganz would make a power move to the net before sliding home the Spartans’ first of the afternoon, tying this match up with loads of time remaining. Fast forward to the halfway point of the third and Alexis Lavoie would rifle home a snapshot from the right corner, beating Doiron top right for Stanstead’s first lead of the semi-finals. Stanstead would ride this lead to victory. Overtime seemed like it was coming but a huge stop from Poitras in the final minute on a cross-crease attempt stamped Stanstead’s ticket to the Eastern U17 Finals.

Ontario Hockey Academy (2/OT) vs Bishop’s College School (1) East U18 Championships Semi-Final

Scoring came as a luxury in the Eastern U18 semi-final between OHA and Bishop’s College, a rematch of last year’s finals which saw OHA take home the hardware. We wouldn’t see our first goal until the third where Tomas Sedlacik caught Oliver Kiraly (28/29) off guard with a knuckler, squeaking past the pads of the Hungarian goaltender to give Bishop’s the initial lead. OHA would keep their heads up after the tough goal and would strike on a powerplay soon after as Sebastian Erkenbolling deflected home a rising wrister from the point. This was enough to force overtime which would see its fair share of action. Mathis-Cael Aurelius would be given a penalty shot after being hauled down on a prior breakaway. However, the puck would barely slip off the blade of Aurelius before attempting to go backhand, keeping Bishop’s hopes alive. OHA wouldn’t lose focus after missing out on a glorious chance, keeping the pressure coming. Eventually, Oliver Lacko would build up speed in the neutral zone before dicing through three Bishop’s defenders and slipping past the backhand that got away from them earlier. OHA proceeds to their second consecutive Eastern U18 Finals where they will face the highly coveted Bourget College.
