Close action in senior men’s hockey By C. Scott Holland Only one week remains before the Leamington Senior Men’s Hockey League starts the round-robin playoffs and the recent action was close. Gualtieri 5 Chrysler 2 If not for a few goal posts, the outcome of this contest might have been different. Chrysler’s offensive sputtered as Curtis Anderson and Brian Santos cracked the armour of Gualtieri’s Adam Howe. Gualtieri got an unexpected lift as vet Paul Omstead drilled a pair, while Pat Sonoski, Dylan Impens and Ian Faubert gunned one apiece.
Gabriele’s 4 Gillett 2 This contest was as even as any could be and featured plenty of back-and-forth action. Gabriele’s won it late in the third. Gillett’s offense was supplied by Spencer Neufeld and Calyn Kir, who triggered one each. Gabriele’s squad adjusted to life without all-star forward Kyle Kudroch with the addition of vet Dustyn Woelk. Kyle Dietrich paced the team by ripping two goals including an empty-net insurance marker. D. Taylor and Z. Halwachs netted singles.
