Pet of the Week BAILEY
Bailey - 14 years old. Nice to meet you. Please don’t think I’m a crabby old guy, I’m really young at heart. Well, not that young, I don’t act like a pesky youngster, you know, into everything and still learning manners. I’m more like a respectful young adult, mindful of manners and independent. I like being pet, will rub against your legs when I’m interested and walk away when I’ve had enough. I like being in the same general area as you but don’t need constant attention and definitely don’t need to be on your lap. I’ll just be nearby checking things out while you get your work done...but will be ready to hang out together as soon as you’re finished.

By Greg Coulter WHEATLEY — Falling behind in their second-round playoff series, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks mounted a determined comeback, but their season ended abruptly Wednesday night with a 5-0 loss to powerhouse Lakeshore Canadiens before a packed house of appreciative fans. The Sharks could not take advantage of early scoring opportunities only to see the rivals capitalize on two chances midway through the first period. The second period saw two goal posts and several near misses, while Lakeshore posted a single
marker midway through the frame to seal the victory. The previous night in Belle River, the Sharks tallied at the 16-second mark, added another minutes later and tallied a powerplay marker early in the second to carry a 3-0 lead into the third. The second half of the game saw a vigorous attack by Lakeshore with Ethan Handley thwarting numerous scoring chances, as he has done throughout the series. In the third, the Sharks sandwiched a single marker between two Lakeshore tallies and held on for a 4-2 victory. Final year defenceman Mason Gow led the way
with two goals and one assist, with Braedon Caetano and Matt Thomas adding singles. Head coach Josh Carnevale thought his team gave Lakeshore all they could handle. “All-in-all a great season, proud of the players for advancing in the playoffs for the first time in eight years and refusing to give up against a team that only lost twice all year, is nothing short of amazing,” he said. “It’s a great experience for the returning group. It’s been a pleasure coaching our graduating players and I wish them nothing but success in their future endeavours.”

tham, Derek Dunn opened the scoring on a nifty pass from Nathan Mariuz by going five hole on the tender. Three minutes into the middle frame, Kent was able to tie the game. Dunn then found Mariuz in the slot and he onetimed a shot past an outstretched goalie. Midway through the second, Owen Derksen fired the puck off the boards down ice and Ben
Liebrock chased it down and deked the goalie for a 3-1 lead. In the third, Maxim Pyne kept the puck in at the line and fired his shot on net. Foster and Liebrock dug at the rebound with Foster finally jamming it in. The Ravens’ play became sloppy at that point and the Cobras scored a minute later on a tip, followed by another just 12 seconds later.

With 35 seconds left, Kent scored while on the power play resulting in a 4-4 final score. Kevin Ondic held the net for the Ravens. On Sunday in Leamington, the Ravens team seemed to have learned their lesson and came out a much more determined bunch. Austin Goudie scored in the first minute, with help from Nash Fuerth. Foster’s powerplay goal from Liebrock and Kayden Cook put the Ravens up 2-0 before AJ Youssef made it 3-0 from Goudie and Derksen. Foster and Liebrock then set up Lucas O’Neil, who made no mistake and scored to make it 4-0 after one. Midway through the second period, Fuerth stole the puck behind the net and slipped it out front to Goudie, who scored his second of the game. With five minutes left in the game, Liebrock set up O’Neil for his second of the game. Kent scored late in the game to break the shutout bid for Trent Chevalier, who got the win.
