Peterborough Lakers Comeback Bid Falls Short, Eliminated By Six Nations Chiefs In 11-8 Loss

The Peterborough Lakers' season ended the same way it did last year, eliminated by the Six Nations Chiefs in the MSL final, as the former lost 11-8 in Game Six at the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Tuesday night.

The Lakers started the night in a huge hole, allowing the first five of six goals for a 5-1 deficit. Joe Resetarits scored a late powerplay goal to round out the period.

The second period was a low-scoring affair but did not favour the Lakers. Thomas Hoggarth opened the period with a score but that’s all Peterborough could muster. Cody Jamieson and Lyle Thompson scored for Six Nations and the Lakers dug an even bigger hole going into the third with a 7-3 score.

Peterborough tried to mount a comeback in the third, scoring the first four of five goals. A pair from Turner Evans, Owen Hiltz and Hoggarth contributed for a 8-7 game, trailing only by one.

Six Nations kept with Peterborough step-for-step as Jamieson to break the Lakers’ run. Hoggarth immediately responded to keep it within one but Six Nations was able to pull away with two more goals and end the comeback bid for the 11-8 win and MSL title.

Hoggarth was named the offensive player of the game and Eric Shewell as the defensive player.

Warren Hill made 44 saves for Six Nations and shared the Johnny ‘Shooter’ Davis Award with Doug Jamieson as playoff MVPs. Each goaltender was 4-1 in the postseason.
