Novice Boys Rep Take Series in Two Games!!
The boys were back at home for game #2 in a best of 3 series against the Mount Forest Rams Tuesday Night.  Although the boys were a little rough around the edges, they pulled it together in the end and left the ice with back to back victories over the Rams.

The Rams took an early lead as they have in every match against Mitchell.  With just 3 minutes left in the first period, Mitchell took their spot on the board when Connor MacLean tipped the puck in the net on a rebound with Connor Lockhart and Nicholas Houben notching the assists.  In the dying seconds of the period, Houben found the back of the net while Lockhart got his second assist of the game.  The period ended with the Meteors up 2-1.  The second period began as the first, with the Rams scoring early to tie the game at 2.  The rest of the period was an end to end match with many great plays by the Mitchell defense to stop an aggressive Mt. Forest offense.  Mitchell's Goalie, Charlie Wood made some essential saves to keep the boys in the game.  The third period was full of great passes by the Mitchell forwards as well as the defense.  The boys really started to come together and work toward the common goal of putting an end to the series.  Their efforts were rewarded with MacLean's second goal of the game while Houben got his second assist and Lockhart got his third assist.  Less than a minute later, Seth Huygen tucked in the rebound to increase Mitchell's lead 4-2.  Dawson Dietz and Joey Adam got the assists. The game ended with the Meteors getting the 4-2 win over the Rams and advancing to the next playoff round to be announced.  Excellent game was had by many Mitchell players in this series but a special congrats goes to Charlie Wood for his incredible saves when we needed them, Connor Lockhart for his amazing game Tuesday night getting 3 assists, and Joey Adam for his solid performance on defense in this series.  Way to go Mitchell!!
