| Dillon Ward continues to rack up wins for the Six Nations Chiefs. |
You always want to win, especially when
you have a lead after two periods. But there are plenty of positives
the Brampton Excelsiors can take from their 9-6 loss to the Six
Nations Chiefs Tuesday night. The young Brampton squad rode Joe
Resetarits' four goals to a 6-4 lead after 40 minutes. The Chiefs
came back to dominate the third 5-0 for their fifth straight win.
Still, it's a far sight better than the
19-5 drubbing the Excelsiors suffered at Six Nations' hands last week
and it shows that the club is growing.
Dhane Smith and Craig Point
had hat tricks to lead the Six Nations offence, which was held under
13 goals for the first time in four games.
“Going into the third with the lead,
it was disappointing that we couldn't close out the game, but for a
young team that is one of the most difficult things to learn,” said
Brampton head coach Paul Stewart. “With their depth and
composure it really showed why they are the two-time defending
champions. Obviously we need to get better and learn how to deliver
the knockout when we have teams on the ropes but overall I think it
was good for our room because we left feeling like if we play our
game we can compete with anyone in this league.”
Both teams get back in action Thursday
night. Six Nations will travel to Peterborough for a first-place
showdown with the Lakers while Brampton will play host to the
Oakville Rock.
