The Navy Vets won a big entertaining game on Friday night at Southwood Arena 7-5 over New Hamburg … before over 550 noisy fans on Fan Appreciation Night !!
The victory means the Vets can win the Doherty Division pennant with a win in Burford on Saturday night.
The last time a Vets team won the division regular season pennant was 20 years ago back in 2002.
Nolan Brett scored 2 goals and Caden Bower had 1 goal & 2 assists to lead the Vets.
Kyle Baker had a goal and added an assist to give him 71 points on the season … highest total by a Vet since 1999.
Patrick Klazer’s assist extended his league longest point-scoring streak to 19 games.
Keaghan Brett made 33 saves for his division leading 16th win of the season.
The Vets got out to a 3-1 lead early in the 2nd period but then a 3-goal outburst by New Hamburg gave them the lead before overage honouree Drew Mullett made a huge key play when he knocked down a Firebirds clearing pass and rifled a shot past the Bird’s goalie to tie the game 4-4 tie heading into the final period.
New Hamburg took the lead 7 mintues into the 3 period but in less than 2 minutes the Vets had tied the game on Baker’s goal and Bower notched the winner. Brett’s 2nd of the game was an insurance marker with just under 7 minutes left.
Special Congratulations:
Keaghan Brett, Liam Munro, Drew Mullett, and Wes Dobbin were honoured in a pre-game ceremony as overagers in their final year of junior hockey !!
What’s Next:
The Vets travel to Burford on Saturday night for their regular season finale.
