Temiscaming Wins Northern Division

It took seven games of the semi final series between Bracebridge and Temiscaming to find out who the Bradford Rattlers would face off against for the Russell Cup.  And the Temiscaming Titans didn't leave much doubt as to who that team would be, with a resounding 9-1 victory Tuesday evening at the Centre in front of a crowd of over 700.  Leading 5-0 after the first and 8-1 after the second, the Titans made a statement with their series victory, that they can play both the rugged style and also the finesse game.  This will be second year in a row that the Titans take part in the GMHL finals.

The BBK line made the most damage collecting 17 points.  Marc-Alain Begin & Francis Beauregard collected 2 goals and 3 assists each while Byron Katapaytuk had 6 assists.  Other Titans goals came from Cam Moffat with a pair, Nicolas Fournier, Richard Abbott & Ashton Haley.  Aaron Boyce collected the win. The Titans outshot the Phantoms 58-47.

The Titans swept the Mattawa Voyageurs and Powassan Eagles in three straight games in their two earlier series.  The best of seven final will kick off Thursday March 21st in Bradford with game #2 set for Saturday March 23rd at the Centre, game time will be 8pm.  Backto Bradford Sunday March 24th for game #3.  Other games will be posted soon.
