Jets and Flames Face-off Jan 24/20
Sparks flew between the Jets and the Flames January 24th.

It was the third time these two teams have flared up against each other.  But, this time, at the round robin playoffs. Players on both local teams are friends, rivals and classmates -  making for good games to watch.

Apsley's home ice advantage saw them flicker two goals in the first period. During a power play, Apsley fired their first goal, not knowing the goalie had just been re-injured the play before.  Later Owen Generick's quick reflexes kept out a trickler near the goal line. There was a pause in the game for the injured goalie, Bailey Robinson. With 4 minutes left in the first period, Griffin Page stepped up to replace Robinson for the remainder of the game.

The Jets rallied with 2 goals in the 2nd period; the first one scored by Caleb Grant and then one from Genrick. 

Ethan Simpson scored the third goal, soaring in to make it 3-2 for Bierworth Bantam Jets. Dylan Cox was ready in front of the net with his stick on the ice to scorch our 4th goal. Brownlee 'Zippo'ed one, to an open Flames net from deep in our end, for a final of 5-2 at North Kawartha on a Friday night.  Congrats on the come from behind win, Bierworth Bantam Jets!


A good game was had by all.  A light, for the night, was Page's debut in net.  Happy healing to Bailey Robinson.

All the best with a full schedule this coming weekend:

Friday Jan. 31, 7 p.m., here against Duro Dukes.

Saturday, 4 pm in Campbellford.

Sunday, 5 pm in Otonabee.
