The Colts will now play the South Shore Lumberjacks in the Fred Fox Division Final beginning Friday evening in Shearwater at 7:30 with Game 2 back in Bridgewater Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m.
Lawson Cook gave the Blazers a 1-0 lead after twenty minutes Monday evening. in the second period, the teams scored six goals with Tyler Curnew scoring both for Sackville while Cody Garcin, Luke McPhee, Cooper Puma and Nick Morin tallied for the Colts. Luke Hawylak scored the lone goal of the third period for the Colts who outshot the Blazers 57-34 but Sackville’s Conar Blackwood in nets played an exceptional game turning away 52 of the 57 shots. Conar Brace in the Colts net stopped 31 of 34 shots. The Colts outscored the Blazers 31-17 in the six games.
