After the SJHL controlled most of the play on Tuesday, it was the MJHL who rebounded and dominated the action on day two at the Showcase in Winnipeg.

 

In the first game MJHL 20U Black beat the SJHL 20U Gold 5 to 1.

 

The Bombers Anthony Piccininno scored the only goal for the SJHL while Flin Flon netminder Matthew Kieper stopped 29 out of 33 and suffered the loss.

 

The Portage Terriers Cameron Bullinger scored a pair of goals to lead the MJHL.

 

In the second game,  the MJHL 20 U Red hung on for a 6 to 4 win over the SJHL 20 U White. 

 

A trio of Winkler Flyers did most of the damage as Isaiah Peters, Brody Beaucheman and Jayce Legaarden all found the back of the net for the MJHL.

 

The Humboldt Bronco's Jacob Strizzi scored his third of the event shorthanded for the SJHL, but they couldn't mount the comeback.

 

Austin Dubinsky of the Niverville Night Hawks stopped 18 out of 22 to pick up the win while the Battleford Stars Justin Maric stopped 22 out of 28 and suffered the loss.

 

The final game of the day was a nail biter with the MJHL 18-U White knocking off the SJHL 18-U Blue 2 to 1 in a shoot out.

 

The Nipawin Hawks Ashton Tait and the Northern Manitoba Blizzard's Esteban Sinq Mars were the only players to score in regulation.

 

Overtime solved nothing, so the game would have to be decided in a shoot-out. Both goalies were outstanding with Brett O'Halloran of the Kindersley Klippers and Taye Timmerman of the Northern Manitoba Blizzard both standing tall.

 

The shoot-out went 15 rounds before Max Lavoie of the Winkler Flyers finally scored to end it and give the MJHL the victory.

 

The SJHL finish the event at 2-2-2 with the regular season resuming on Friday.

 

The Flin Flon Bombers will hit the ice on Saturday as they entertain the Melfort Mustangs at the Whitney Forum  and put their 25 game regulation streak on the line.

 

Puck drop is 7:30 and will be broadcast on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com.
