TOMMIES GUN REDMEN IN SHOOTOUT

By Bill Hunt
(excerpt from The Fredericton Daily Gleaner)

FREDERICTON -- The St. Thomas University Tommies edged McGill 5-4 in a shootout Saturday night at the (second annual V-Reds Fall Classic hockey tournament).

McGiil’s Steve Pearce, the twin brother of UNB forward Rob, scored to tie the game with just a fraction of a second on the clock to send the game to a shootout.

Goaltender Andrew Sim stopped all four McGill shooters in the shootout while Jeff Bateman and then Miguel Delisle connected for the Tommies.

However, under the MacDougall scoring system in vogue for the tournament, both the Tommies and Redmen finished with four points and out of contention for medals.

The MacDougall scoring system awarded four points for a win and an additional point for outscoring your opponent in a particular period, a maximum of seven points available for a victory.

X finished with 11 points, Moncton with eight, and UNB and UPEI each with seven to set up the medal matchups.

Lafrance was named the tournament MVP. Paul Drew, who made 135 saves in the Panthers’ net in three games -- the V-Reds beat him with their 36th, 37th and 39th shots in the last 10 minutes to wrap up the bronze -- was named to the tournament team.

V-Reds captain Craig Mahon was named to the defence along with rookie forward Darrell Boyce.

The rest of the all-tournament team includes defenceman Sam Roberts of the X-Men, along with X forward Nick Lees and UdeM forward Luc Laprise.

V-Reds goaltender Reg Bourcier and forward Denny Johnston were honourable mentions on the tourney team.

NOTES: The Redmen are 1-2 in pre-season action and will play RMC in Bedford, Que., on Oct. 7 at 7 pm
