Leamington Men's Sr. League kicks off another season

By C. Scott Holland

Reid 7 Gualtieri 1

Reid Funeral Home’s offense ran over the Gualtieri Farms’ defense and rookie goalie Noah Charko (GF) had little chance on the high number of shots he faced. His counterpart Brady Vail, also a rookie, was tough to beat as he only allowed the one tally.

Gualtieri’s offense got their lone goal when Ian Faubert cranked a shot into the Reid net in the second period.

The Reid attack was paced by Jordan Hooker’s hattrick performance, which included the team’s first two markers.

Cody Cabral planted two late in the contest, one shorthanded. Also adding singles were Kyle Quick and Greg Mastronardi.

Chrysler 3 Gillett 1

These two teams had a game in which both offenses posed threats. With one goal in each period, Chrysler led 2-1 heading into the last minute and after Gillett pulled their goalie for an extra-attacker, they scored on the empty net.

Gillett’s lone tally was triggered by Brian Whaley in the second period.

The Chrysler team began as Mark Matheson and Brian Santos lifted the team into a 2-1 lead. Jake Mahrchildon’s long shot trickled into the empty net before a Gillett defender could reach it.
