Sunday
Kilrich 6, Air North 0
Mike Hawkins earned the shutout as the builders blanked the flyers. Wade Harrison sniped a hat trick in the victory, and Chris Lane, Stu MacMillan and Johnny Sembsmoen (on a nifty deke) rounded out the scoring.
Saturday
Tim Hortons 4, EDI 2
Ryan Martin scored two, including the empty netter, as the Timbits won a tightly-contested battle to open the playoff season. Willy McKenna potted the winner on a dandy goal with eight minutes left, and Lorne Burnett got the other. Jeff Hunston notched both for EDI.
The next playoff matchups include Tim Hortons vs Kilrich and Yukon Inn vs Firth on the ‘A’ side; and Air North vs EDI and Capri vs Medicine Chest in the ‘B’.
