Kilrich 6 Medicine Chest 5

Defenceman Carl ‘Brewer’ Cibart burst up the ice and lasered home a shot with less than a second on the clock to give Kilrich the exciting win. Cibart’s goal came only 17 seconds after MC’s Rick Smith had scored with the goalie pulled to tie the game. GM Sean McLeish, Steve Arrell, Ron Daub, Anthony Grottoli (a shorty) and Doug Cote also scored for the constructors. Smith added a second goal for the pharmacy fellows, and Derek Bilodeau, Ben Campbell and Kevin Topping also connected.

Tim Hortons 7 Titanium Storage 5

Dave Wipf scored twice for Tims, as they held off a frenetic rally by Titanium. The Storage skaters scored three times in 45 seconds late in the game to almost erase a 6-2 deficit, but Chris Nash’s empty-netter dashed their comeback hopes. Matt Johnson, Lorne Burnett, Chris Lane and team owner Doug Terry also stirred in goals for the coffee mates. Russ McDiarmid and Tyson Wirth each potted two in defeat, and Mark Pike (on a sick deke) added the other.

Firth 2 EDI 2
