The Uxbridge Bruins weekend results included an overtime home win against Little Britain and a narrow road loss to the Port Perry LumberJacks.
Uxbridge defeated the Little Britain Merchants 3-2 in overtime on Friday, September 18, before losing 3-2 in Port Perry two days later.
Ryan Shier scores twice in home victory
Captain Ryan Shier gave the Bruins a two-goal first-period lead. Tucker Roberts assisted on the first, while Darin Bain and Liam Hackett assisted on the second.
The Merchants answered in the second period. An apparent Uxbridge goal was disallowed after a player left the penalty box early, but the Bruins eventually secured the game in overtime. Goaltender Robbie DiMaria was selected as Uxbridge’s player of the game by the Cosmos.
Port Perry rallies for 3-2 win
Jordan Fitger scored early for Uxbridge on a power play, with assists from Evan Gilbert and Tyson Lotton. Lotton later restored the lead with an unassisted goal after another Uxbridge goal had been disallowed.
Port Perry tied the game early in the third and scored the winner near the midpoint. The LumberJacks outshot Uxbridge 42-34.
After the games, the Bruins held a 3-2 record. Their next scheduled games are Friday in Keswick and Sunday in Scarborough.
