Copperheads continue South Division final run

The Coaldale Copperheads South Division final series didn’t start out the way the team planned. Currently sitting with two losses in a row to start the series off from road trips in Cochrane. It appeared the team was not focused or prepared to face the overall first-place HJHL team.
Saturday night, on home ice, the team came out to play a full 60 minutes. Limiting themselves to penalties, pressing hard every shift and strong net-minding earned the 4-1 victory of Game Three.Overage leaders Connor Gross with two goals and Craig Lyon with two goals were a huge impact.
Goaltender Dillan Kelly, with one of his strongest games of the season, contributed to the team’s success. Sitting in a position down 2-1 in the South Division final, the team needs to keep this momentum.
Next home game is a super important one, on home ice, tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. Then it’s Friday night with an away game to Cochrane at 7:30 p.m. for Game Five.
Saturday home and Sunday away will be the final Game 6/7, if need be.
