The Money Ballers: JR A Playoff Edition
Not only are the Six Nations Arrows on the verge of getting knocked off by the St. Catharines Ahtletics, currently down three games to two, but Cody Jamieson, the man that’s had the lead on The Money Ballers since way back in the early part of the regular season, has a couple of A’s just a few points shy of taking that top spot from him.
Corey Small and Joey Resetarits have been super clutch for St. Kitts as the A’s are just a W away from going to the Ontario finals for the first time since 2003, the year they also landed the Minto Cup.
The O’Ville tandem of Adam Jones and Matt McLeod aren’t far off either, the two combining for five game winning goals out of the Northmen’s eight playoff wins so far.
With that said, outside of our usual top 30 clutch ballers rundown, we also wanted to take a look at what players are factoring in the most on their team’s game winning markers so far this post-season. What players are the ones getting their sticks on the goals that are sealing the deal?
Check out the chart below, looking at what players factor in the most on their team’s game winners. Coincidentally, no Jamieson in the top 15 or so guys in the country…

Also, even though a few game stats are still missing from www.abjralacrosse.com, we also broke down Alberta’s top clutch guys, check out the numbers below. The Alberta final between the Eclipse and Miners should give those numbers a bit of a jolt after all is said and done, maybe even enough to land ‘em in the top 30 in the country.
