Pictou County Bantam AA Crushers started the weekend off travelling to South Shore. With minutes to go in the first period, the Crushers pressed to the net for the tying goal. Myles Farnsworth passed the puck toward the net where Noah MacDonald tipped it in 1-1. The Crusher’s came to the second with a team effort scoring four straight. Covey Cameron’s shot from the point was right on mark, netting two with assist from Ross Martin, Dylan Kontuk and Farnsworth. Adam Farrell scored on a stretch pass from Farnsworth and Kontuk. Brent Chapman dumped the puck to Ryan Denny in the corner and he made a cross ice pass which Cam MacKinnon one timed pass the goalie making it 5-1 going into intermission. The third period had end to end action where the Crushers defence held South Shore to only one goal in the third, giving Jacob Fraser his first win of the season 5-2.
