Neepawa Area 15th Annual Sports Dinner

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

The Neepawa Titans collected a huge win over the weekend against the best team in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. The Titans bested the Steinbach Pistons by a score of 3-2 on Friday, Feb. 3 at the Yellowhead Centre.

Neepawa took control early, with Will Highet scoring just 2:33 into the first period, on a power-play opportunity. Both team would then swap goals before the end of the opening frame, with Connor Thompson scoring for Neepawa and Leo Chambers collecting one for the visiting Pistons.

Hayden Stocks would add to the Neepawa’s advantage early in the second, as he scored his 20th goal of the season. While Steinbach would score early in the third, to once again trail by a lone goal, they would be unable to find an equalizer before the end of regulation, and Neepawa would topple the East Division’s top squad 3-2.

The very next night, these two club would once again face-off, this time in the nearly packed to capacity confines of the T.G. Smith Centre in Steinbach. With 863 fans in attendance, the home town Pistons would bounce back, handing Neepawa a 5-3 loss. The Titans jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, as Parker Korman and Hayden Stocks each scored. The Pistons replied, however, with two quick goals just 35 seconds apart before the end of the first.

The second period proved to be the game changer for the Pistons scored twice and kept the Titans off the stat-line. While Connor Thompson did claw back one midway through the third for Neepawa, the Pistons replied back only 12 seconds later, to reestablish their two goal cushion. Shot on goal for the night were 45-to-42 for the Pistons.
