Seaforth Centenaires continue winning ways by downing Petrolia

BY SHAWN LOUGHLIN

On Sunday, the Centenaires handed the Petrolia Squires their first loss of the season by a score of 4-1 in a matinee at the Seaforth and District Community Centre.

 

The home team scored the first three goals of the game, beginning with Brady Hinz just over seven-and-a-half minutes into the first period, assisted by Mike Siddall and Braydon Blight, and then again with Camden Daigle with just over 10 minutes left in the first, assisted by Coleson Fischer and Sean Chisholm.

 

Jarrett Bogdon then scored the only goal of the second period, just over 12 minutes in, assisted by Brady Hinz and Tanner Hertel.
In the third, the Squires scored their lone goal, courtesy of T.J. Harris on the power play with just 3:42 left in the period, assisted by Ryan Fraser, but just under 40 seconds later, Brady Hinz scored for the Centenaires, also on the power play, to put the game away for the home team. Camden Daigle assisted on the final marker.

 

Tyler Parr earned the win for the Centenaires, stopping all but one of the 34 shots he faced, while Jakob Knowles was tagged with the loss for the Squires, stopping 30 of 34 shots.

 

Thanks in part to the win, the Seaforth Centenaires are in first place in the Ontario Elite Hockey League’s South Conference with a record of five wins and one loss and 10 points.

 

The Dunnville Aeros are in second place with a record of five wins and two losses and 10 points, followed by the Tavistock Royals (4-1 and eight points), the Elora Rocks (4-0 and eight points) and the Petrolia Squires (3-1 and six points).

 

The Ridgetown Rebels are tied for sixth place with an identical record of 2-5 and four points with the Tillsonburg Thunder, followed by the Milverton Four-Wheel Drives in eighth place with a record of 1-4 and two points and the last-place Delhi Flames, who are winless with a record of 0-7.

 

This weekend, the Centenaires will be in Dunnville to play the Aeros on Saturday, Nov. 7.
