Classics prevail over Peters in two close encounters
The first match was a high scoring affair filled with fast paced action. Although the Peters pulled ahead 2-1 after the first period, it was the Classics that launched a relentless assault on the Peters defense accumulating five goals in that single period alone. P.Karvouriaris displayed his scoring touch by bagging a pair. Unlike the first encounter, the second game was a defensive battle with both teams tightening up while heavily relying on their goaltenders. C.Gingras did score early on suggesting for more goals to come. But with A.Ekonomakis guarding the cage for the Classics coupled with C.Fortin sharing the task for the Peters, this contest saw both sides struggle to solve the goaltenders. The Peters had no choice but to push the pace a little harder since they needed the equalizer. Unfortunately, after some numerous attempts, the Classics defense held firm and A.Ekonomakis stole the spotlight earning a well deserved shutout.
