A Complete Effort From Ennismore Puts The "W" In Their Pockets


The Owen Sound North Stars (4-3) traveled east to face the Ennismore James Gang (2-7) at the Robert E. Young Recreation Centre in Ennismore, Ontario. 

The goaltending match-up had Dante Mancini in net for Owen Sound facing Riley Finn guarding the cage for Ennismore. 

The Ennismore James Gang played their most complete game of the season.  Jumping out to an early lead, led by Nick Dilauro (3g,5a), the James Gang dictated the pace of the game.

Although Jordan Caskenette was able to solve Riley Finn twice in the second period, the James Gang still pressed forward scoring five times in the period.   Frank Coyle (2g,4a) and Michael Blaymires (2g,5a) had a pair each leading the way. 

Play got noticeably rougher to start the third period, which allowed Owen Sound to try and get back in the game.  Three goals, two on the power-play, had Owen Sound just two goals back.  However, a pair of late goals from the James Gang put the "W" in their column.   Ennismore held on for a 9-5 victory.
