The game of hockey, playoffs, what a beautiful thing, where you set aside your egos, you forget about the stress of the real world, and you do everything you are capable of for the guy next to you in the room because you know he will do it for you.

The Flyers rolled into Bedford for yet another away game as the #1 seed, but like we said before… you’re gonna need an army to stop these boys!!!!

The first period got under way with a bang when Sean Belanger took the puck from his own end, down the right side and ripped home a beauty to the top left like he’s done so many times before! 

After some defensive zone errors the boys let a Bedford player steal the puck and squeeze one through Coker tying the game at 1, but with just 13 seconds left in the 1st period, The French Phenom Zacharie Chenard buried home a rebound from the “Holy F Im Wide Open” spot taking back the lead for the Flyers. 

After a quick break inbetween periods for the short staffed Flyers it was none other than the Alexander Ovechkin of Sackville Minor Hockey, Nolan Belfield sniping one home in front of the net after receiving a beautiful dish from call up Blake Wilson who played an unbelievable game as well tonight!!! 

The second period wrapped up the same way the first did for nickname fan favourite Lettuce as he took a beating all night long taking every hit for the boys to make sure he got the puck out and kept the puck in… that’s playoff hockey, sacrificing your body for the boys on your team because breaks and bruises heal and you know you did everything you possibly could for the win!

After the boys got caught puck watching the Blues scored another to make it a one goal game late in the 3rd, and with 2:53 left in the game the refs made another questionable call against Sean Belanger but there was nothing the boys wouldn’t do to kill that penalty off and to keep the lead, with Penalty Kill specialist William Oldford leading the way the Flyers got the puck out time and time again until it was on one young man to make a play to seal it, and who else but The Big Time Goalie Coker making a huge toe save with 2 seconds left to ensure the two banners were coming home to Sackville!!!!

A huge shoutout to Sully for being the heart and soul of the big orange machine tonight, the guy who emptied the tank and some,  doing everything he possibly could, earning him the MVP of The Finals taking his award with the big smile we’ve come to know, but it was nothing like the look on his face holding up those two banners with the guys he’s gone to war with all season long!!!!

Victories like these are so sweet, it makes all the hard times, all the bag skates, the early morning practices, the injuries, the dissapointment, the losses and the grind all worth it in the end to soak each other with Champagne (non alcoholic) and forever be champs with your names signed next to your family on those banners that hang up in the rink you grew up in. 

We’re so proud of these young men, they put everything on the line and overcame adversity to secure this win, it was never a doubt!

Congrats Flyers on the League title, there’s still work to be done, but at least we have one day off to take in this win before SEDMHA!
