3 Point Weekend for Seahawks - Dec. 14, 2009
The Seahawks started the weekend of hosting the Nackawic Hawks on Friday Night at the Border Arena. The Seahawks got on the board first with Josh Cloney scoring at 4:20 of the first period. Andrew Moffitt and Ray Fitzpatrick picked up the assists. Just over a minute later Sean Turner gave the Seahawks a 2-0 lead beating Hawks tender Martin Speer. Edan Welch scored for the visiting Hawks at 12:51 of the first to get the visitors back within one.
Jeff Gregor got the 2 goal lead back for the Seahawks at 13:26 of the second but Jarret Paul scored less than a minute later to get the Hawks back within one again. Just over a minute later Sean Turner picked up his secong goal of the game to give the Seahawks a 4-2 lead entering the 3rd.
In the third Adam Bradley scored at 3:27 to give the Seahawks their first 3 goal lead of the game but just over 1 minute later the Hawks scored 2 goals in 23 seconds to bring the visitors back within one at 5-4. Lining up for the faceoff, the Seahawks Josh Cloney and Hawks heavyweight Jesse Paul exchanged a few words and dropped the mitts. Cloney landed a flurry of punches and when Paul went down continued to land some big shots until the refs hauled him back. The fight brought the crowd to their feet and the Seahawks came out flying after the melee, with Jeff Gregor scoring his second of the game just 38 seconds later.
With just under 3 minutes left in the game Shawn Mersereau poked in a loose puck giving the Seahawks the 7-4 win. The Seahawks outshot the Hawks 47-30. Nick Nozzolillo picked up the win in goal for the Seahawks.
On Saturday Night the Seahawks visited the AQ Molson Thunder at the Peter Murray Arena. Again the Seahawks came out strong jumping out to a first period 2-0 lead on goals by Jeremy Turgeon. The Thunder responded with 2 goals in the second tying the game at 2. Adam Bradley quickly got the lead back for the Seahawks at 7:38 of the second. Jeremy Turgeon then got the 2 goal lead back for the Seahawks at 13:20 of the second, picking up his 3rd goal of the game. The Thunder picked up 2 goals in 27 seconds late in the period to tie the game at 4.
In the third the teams exchanged goals with Brad Burns scoring for the Seahawks and Mike Neil scoring for the Thunder. The 5 minute OT solved nothing although the Seahawks had several great chances.
In the Shootout, Adam Nelson shot first ringing one of the post while Guy Miszczak stopped the first Thunder shooter. Jeremy Turgeon then put one past Thunder tender Mark Marshall. Paul Holder replied for the Thunder. In the 3rd round neither shooter scored sending it to the 4th round.
