Game #6 - U18LL vrs Arthur Vipers 2
Your E&F Masonry U18 LL Mitchell Meteors welcomed the Arthur Vipers to the Mitchell Barn Monday, March 10th, 2025 to meet up with the Arthur Vipers 2 in their round robin playdown action.
Getting the start in net would be Porter Smith accompanied by the stellar defensive play of Darius Smith, Tyler Scherbarth, Wyatt B, Seth P, Lucas Bree and Grady Smith. Your Meteor's started off the playdowns with a 3 to 0 win in Arthur in the first matchup.
The Vipers came out strong against the Meteor's in first period action and Porter Smith would put on a show keeping the boys in the game. However, at 10:39 of the first period the Vipers would go up 1 to 0 on a 2 on 0 play that Smith would have no chance on. They would repeat that same 2 on none play to score only 2 minutes later to put the Viper up 2 to 0 closing out the first period.
The second period would start out all Vipers again and they would add to their lead at 12:00 to go up 3 to 0. With the game starting to get chippy and the Meteors digging in harder fighting for the loose pucks the game started to swing in the Meteors favor. Late in the closing minute of the second period Max Hannon would get in deep behind the Viper net to win a puck battle taking the puck out front to make a sweet deke and put in a goal with 47 seconds left on the clock.
After the intermission and a fresh clean pad of ice the Meteors picked back up where they left off taking it to the Vipers and outplaying them. With time winding down in the third period, the line of Jack Crowley, Nolan Rolph and Griffin Bree would get the puck in deep cycling it with many shots when one would rebound out to an open Griffin Bree who would make no mistake adding a goal at 1:44 to bring the game to 3 to 2.
With a minute left in action it was all Mitchell and they brought out every trick in the playbook but just couldn't solve the Viper goalie on this night and deserved a much better fate.
Next Action will be Wednesday March 12th, 2025 at 8:30pm in Mitchell against the Saugeen Valley Steelhead 3 who they lost a very tight game to in Hanover 2 to 0 last match up. Please come on out and support the boys.
