Team Cherry stole a win in the third period to defeat Team Orr 4-2.
The first and only goal of the period was scored by Nino Niederreiter as the puck just trickled in. The first period was a hard hitting period but none the less, Team Orr was winning.
The second period both teams didn't let up as they continued to throw their weight around. Half way into the second, both goalies were removed from the game and in came the back-ups. Etem Emerson would start the scoring for Team Cherry as he sniped a shot top corner while being short-handed to tie the game at one a piece.
Jeff Skinner would give Team Orr the lead once again in the third, as he tipped in Brandon Gormley's shot. But Jordan Weal scored right after to prevent Team Orr from running off with the score. Following that, the home town kid would feed a pass to Ryan Spooner on a two-on-one to give Team Cherry the lead for the first time in the game. Then with time coming to an end, Louis-Marc Aubry would score an empty-netter to give Team Cherry the victory.
Everybody thinks that this was more of an all-star type game, but the players showed tonight that this game, is a game where they can prove themselves. This will give every player to show scouts why they should be taken by them in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. This game was filled with a lot of checking, two fights and a check from behind.
E.J. McGuire, Director of Central Scouting, tells In Play! that this is more than an all-star game.
“This is not an all-star game. These players aren't going to be tapping each other on the pads. Their going to be giving it their all to try and raise their stake.”
That's why tonight's In Play! Magazine player of the game goes to Austin Watson. During a critical point of the game, Team Orr was on a five-on-three power play. Watson killed one penalty by blocking a shot in the ankle and icing the puck from his knees', then limping to the bench. This showing he was truly giving it his all.
