Justin, what's the plan to make sure you take the shield back from the South Islanders?
Just try to outwork them, have some fun in the process, but obviously we're out here
to win, so we're hoping we can represent for the North and put a good product on the ice,
just play a team game and put some goals in.
You know, we have a lot of talented guys, but I think for us it's quite important to
play for those guys.
They were the originals in the league, this head and our goal, Ian Van der Mekker, and
it looks like Justin Finley's last game, so they're finishing the ice hockey career
tonight, and I think this is a huge, huge opportunity for the other guys to stepping up.
Paris High puts in a shot, Hopkinson bubbles the puck again, that's not the first time
he's done that here.
Now I've got an opportunity for Chalice, Chalice comes in, Chalice skating, and he's got it
well with him, Chalice shoots.
That just goes.
Justin got most of that puck.
You know, if it was a pie, everything but the crust.
North has got a really good power play unit for a team that doesn't play well, play a
lot together, but I do notice a lot of swarm players on it.
Chalice, shot!
She's goal!
Jeremy Chai with the puck, passes the cross-eyes, Henderson, Sandoy, Sandoy shoots, and goes.
That take a bounce, well two of the North goals were on the power play as well, we haven't
seen the South with an aww shot, big two, two-pad stack, we haven't seen a two-pad
stack since the 1980s, so now we've got, you know, loads.
And it's back up, and now they're back to square numbers.
Pass the puck with a shot, and goal!
That was Max, excellent shot, Max McCart, firing it in, out front shot, blocked there by the
South.
Great goal by Rimi Sandoy, big rebound came back up, Sandoy's still in there, got an
opportunity to look at.
Now 19, Taylor Rooney goes into the corner, big hit there by Hayden Argoff, no other sort
of hits that we expected.
Did you just say a big hit from Hayden Argoff, does that surprise you?
Managed to lose the puck to Taylor Rooney, Rooney's done quite well tonight, haven't
seen a lot of them play, and goal scored by Jordan Chalice, cleaned a bit of a goal
first for the North Island here, Max McCart with a hit on Gareth McLeish, long pass to
Chai, Chai with a one on one break away.
Chai, Schwarz, he pulls it off, puck ahead, good attack there, shot, goal!
That's what mama likes to see.
You've got five goal deficit to try and make up, you're really going to need as many goals
as you can get, specifically five to start with.
Puck to McCog, in front, shot, goal, that was lucky, sorry, great combination.
Puck in there for Henderson, Henderson goes in deep, around the boards, big hit, I don't
think we're in Kansas anymore Koto.
Well Hayden Argoff gone, well that's a tough way to end the career.
Great job there by the South team, basically killing a seven minute penalty with that two
minutes back down to the five, that in front, shot, goal, goalie drop, like a sack of broken
hammers, Hayden, Hayden now with a good opportunity, Hayden skates it in, Blake Jackson with a
defense, Hayden shoots, oh my goodness, there's no place like home, Hayden ahead to Hayden,
Hayden now with a puck, Hayden's got options, Hayden skates it in himself, Hayden's going
to do it alone, shoots goes wide.
Hayden in, hockey, oh, the old sandwich, we'll have a North Island sandwich, hold the
mayo there, now Chai with the puck, Chai with an opportunity coming the other way, gets
around Haynes, shoots, scores, the five hole special, skating in there, Tom Tappen puts
it in front, shot, shoot, saved by Rick Perry, amazing save, Rick Perry big ups for him there,
puck comes out, Blake, Kelly Burns going after it, high Kelly Burns with the puck, Kelly
Burns shoots, scores, short handed once again, he puts on the burners, Cullen Burns, snipers
one in, couldn't quite put it on target, here it is, now an opportunity for Bradley
in, shot, scores, oh my goodness, unbelievable, short handed goal, look at, he's doing the
eagle, he's doing the eagle, and how do you think the season went for you this year?
Well it was a bit up and down, obviously swam, we didn't have a very strong season, we finished
third, so I'm going to take home for a young team that's up and coming, it was good to
finish with a win today against the South, we've lost the last three years in a row,
so really happy to take back the glass shield and finish the season on a real high.
I think we had a really good season in terms of rebuilding our structure, we brought in
a whole bunch of younger talent which will do us good in the upcoming season, I think
we almost, it was one of those things we started to peak later in the year and we kind of ran
out of time, so we're very optimistic about next year and we've got most of the same
guys sticking around.
