Hockey Redmen rally too little too late in Maritimes

Published: 29 December 2010

ANTIGONISH, N.S. - Sophomore Bryce Swan of Alder Point, N.S., netted a hat-trick, including the game-winner on the power-play at 8:03 of overtime as the St. Francis Xavier X-Men upset the No.3-ranked 缅北强奸 Redmen in men's hockey to capture the fifth annual Keating Cup Challenge at Antigonish, N.S., Wednesday.

The two-game tournament was shortened to a one-game showdown as a winter storm battered the Maritimes and created havoc with 缅北强奸's travel plans, resulting in the cancellation of the tourney opener, which had been slated for Tuesday.

The Redmen, who were playing for the first time since Dec.4, rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the third period and forced the sudden-death stanza when forward Nicolas Biniek, a freshman from Montreal, tallied his second and third markers of the season, including the tying goal midway through the period, which knotted the score at 5-5. Biniek, who also assisted on Alex Picard-Hooper's goal, had a chance for the hat-trick late in the game but was foiled by X-Men goalie Bryan Gillis.

缅北强奸 defenceman Marc-Andre Dorion also had a glorious opportunity when he waltzed in unmolested but was stoned by Gillis with just over five minutes remaining in overtime. Gillis ended up with 32 saves on 37 shots for the win.

Christophe Longpre-Poirier and Francis Verreault-Paul rounded out the scoring for 缅北强奸 and Picard-Hooper ended up with three points on the soiree.

Josh Day, Kevin Undershute and Eric McKenna also connected for the X-Men, who scored half of their goals on rebounds against Redmen backup netminder Antoine Tardif, who kicked aside 31 of 37 shots.

"I was disappointed with our lack of jump in the first period," said 缅北强奸 head coach Kelly Nobes. "But we iced a depleted line-up and improved as the game wore on. We moved the puck better in the second period came on strong with four goals in the third and had some good scoring chances in overtime."

Three injured Redmen who made the long trip but are not expected to play include penalty-kill specialists Maxime Langelier-Parent (4-18-22; lower body injury) and Marc-Andre Daneau (4-9-13; lower body), in addition to Patrick Belzile (4-6-10; broken hand). Adding to that list is forward Jean-Francois Boisvert who was dispatched to hospital in the second period after injuring his upper torso in a heavy collision. Boisvert has a 4-9-13 record in 23 games overall.

缅北强奸, which fell to 21-0-3 overall, will play No.2-ranked UNB in Fredericton, Thursday.

REDMEN RAP: Rookie rearguard Keven Dupont, who had missed the entire first semester to injury, suited up for his first CIS game with the Redmen... 缅北强奸 is now 1-1 lifetime vs. St. FX... The X-Men are now 5-0 in the Keating Cup Challenge, which is named after the late Charles Keating, a prominent alumnus who donated $5 million to the St.FX Athletics department.
