Six Nations and Whitby get wins, Eclipse and Miners tie

June 11th, 2008 by Lauren Ward

The Six Nations Arrows got back to winning last night, bouncing back from the loss to Orangeville to slap the Peterborough Lakers 9-4. Cody Jamieson led the Arrows with three goals and four assists while Wayne Vanevery added a pair of markers and Angus Goodleaf made 44 saves. Jesse Guerin and Matt Evans had one goal and two helpers in the loss. The win was the the Arrows’ tenth on the season.

Elsewhere in Ontario Junior A it was Justin Fox’s third goal of the game with under three minutes remaining that locked up the 7-6 Whitby Warriors win over the Rama-Hammond Kings. In addition to Fox’s efforts, the Warriors got a big game from Coady Adamson with two goals and two assists. Please note that Adamson’s points were originally and mistakenly attributed to Matt Cockerton. Jesse Gill stopped 26.

Over in Alberta the Edmonton Eclipse and Edmonton Miners fanned the flames of their rivalry, scrapping their way to a 7-7 tie. The Eclipse — who were missing their Captain and main scoring threat Simon Giourmetakis — dug themselves out of penalty trouble to earn the tie, getting a big game from transition player Shane Lopantynski with one goal and one assist. Captain Mike Lutes led the Miners, not only with his goal but also by managing to stay out of the penalty box in a game where 108 minutes were handed out.
