Kincardine 3 - Stratford 2
Game 3 of the playoff series between the Stratford Cooper Standard Bantam B Aces and the Kincardine Kinucks was truly a seesaw affair. We wanted to see them win but instead we saw Kincardine move on.

The first period was a scoreless draw.

The Aces broke their bagel first just before the half way point of the second period. A strong shot by Abby Debus from just inside the blue line found the corner of the net. Assists went to line mates Stacey Shackleton and Jessica Blowes.
Kincardine knotted the score just 90 seconds later on a shot that was chipped up and over goaltender Sommer English.

With 4 minutes to go in the third period Kincardine edged ahead.
Stratford scored the equalizer with the goalie out and 31 seconds left on the clock. Kate Schneider scored from Debus and defenseman Meredith MacMillan to give the home side one more chance at the victory.
Needing a win to prolong the 4 point series Stratford left the goalie on the bench for the ensuing face-off . Kincardine controlled the draw and added an empty net goal to eliminate Stratford from the playoffs.

Provincial play-downs start for the Bantam B’s next week with a road game against the South Huron Sabres.
