"Anytime a team faces elimination you know they will play desperate hockey. Even though we were down by two goals I thought we carried most of the play in the offesnive zone but we didn't finish our chances. I thought we carried the play all night and we were eventually rewarded for our play in the second and third period. We accomplished our goal of advancing to the next round. Give Dieppe credit they played well and never gave up. They should have a solid foundation for next season and Coach Arsenault did an excellent job this season" commented Head Coach Jason Tatarnic.
Woodstock will now await the winner of the Miramichi-Summerside series to compete for the Meek Division Crown |
