Cobras Sting Jackals in Shoot-out to Claim Peewee A Crown
In the grand finale game 5 in front of about 200 fans at the new CBS Arena, the RBC Cobras and RBC Jackals needed a shoot-out to decide the DJHL Peewee A Championship. It was truly anybody's game to win as both sides attacked back and forth to the delight of the crowd. Only the superb goalie play of Jackals' Joshua Chafe and Cobras' Adam Baggs kept the score so low. Myles Bedford scored unassisted with 1:33 left in the opening frame to put the Jackals on the board first. The Cobras finally tied the game on a power lay with 9 seconds to go in the second when forward Ryan Walsh faked a slap shot in close before delivering a slick pass to Nathan Oldford for a quick wrister pass Chafe. With the third period solving nothing, the talented Brady Mitchelmore opened the shoot-out for the Jackals with a bullet wrist shot on Baggs. Walsh replied with a nifty toe drag goal for the Cobras to even things at one apiece. A stop by Baggs and a brilliant deke goal by Lucas Noble pulled the Cobras ahead for good. An entertaining night of hockey from two worthy opponents! Elsewhere in Week 6 of DJHL play-offs, the Blades claimed the Bronze in Atom A action over the Eagles, and the Bantam B Blades won their Bronze series opener 3-1 over the Caps.
