Biermans Minor Bantams Back in Chesley
Written By Tom Macham

After saying goodbye to “Big Bruce” on February 27th, the 98’ Highlanders returned to Chesley 8 months later and, on a rain soaked Saturday afternoon, they recorded a well earned point from the Guelph Junior Storm...

In a “back and forth” game which saw the lead change hands more than once, they came away with a 3-3 tie after 45 minutes of play. Outshooting the opposition 19-17 and winning their fair share of battles for the puck, the ‘98’s were full value for their effort.

It was the “Fossie-Man’s” day as Owen Sound’s Nick Foster recorded his first AAA hat-trick. Scoring first on a deflection from a point shot by Braeden Marshall. His second goal came late in the first on a tenacious forecheck from #4 Cole Hodgins who dug the puck out of the corner after what seemed like an eternity and fed a pass to an open Foster in the slot. This goal gave the Highlanders a 2-1 lead at the end of the first.

Behind 3-2 mid way through the second, Jasper Akiwenzie drove the puck deep, on a solo rush, into the Storm end and in the ensuing scramble at the side of the net, the puck squirted free to Foster, who made no mistake and buried it for the tieing goal. The third period saw no scoring. Tristan Lewis stood tall between the pipes as usual. Up next is Oakville for a rare Thursday night tilt at their Joshua Creek facility.
