Redmen 2 - Carleton 3 (OT)

Game Report by David Kent & Earl Zukerman

MONTREAL -- Mike Testa, a sophomore from Ottawa, scored once in regulation and came up with a post-overtime shootout goal as Carleton stunned the McGill Redmen in men’s hockey, at McConnell Arena, in Montreal, Friday.

McGill outshot the Ravens 39-21 but Doug Jewer, a sophomore goaltender from St. John’s, Nfld., made 37 saves, plus three more in the shootout, to preserve the victory.

The upstart Ravens, a new team in the OUA this year, improved to 2-1-1 including a perfect 2-0 road record.

McGill, on the other hand, failed to win for the third straight contest and fell to 1-3, including the shootout loss, which is worth a point in the standings.

Carleton played a gritty game against one of the OUA Far East preseason favorites as they survived a 13-5 disadvantage in shots to escape from the first period with a scoreless tie.

Testa netted the game’s first goal at 9:45 of the second period on a pass from Jared Cipparone, a freshman centre from Tecumseh, Ont.

McGill, however, needed only 24 seconds to score the equalizer when sophomore Benoit Arsenault of Rimouski, Que., netted his second of the season.

It appeared that McGill had the game in hand when rookie Evan Vossen of Swift Current, Sask., made it 2-1 for the Redmen with 5:35 remaining in the third period but rookie Justin Caruana of Orono, Ont., forced a five-minute overtime with his third of the season at 18:03.

After a scoreless OT session, Testa, the third Carleton player to shoot in penalty shots, scored the lone shootout goal, deking McGill netminder Jean-Michel Filiatrault.

Jewer thwarted all three Redmen shooters (Marko Kovacevic, Arsenault and Sam Bloom) to preserve the win.

McGill will now focus on trying to snap their three-game skid when they travel down the hill to the Bell Centre for the 21st annual Ronald Corey Cup game, a non-conference affair for university hockey supremacy in Montreal.

Tickets are only $10 and organizers are hoping to draw over 10,000 fans to the event. The Quebec attendance record for a single university game is 12,000 to see the 1968 University Cup final between Alberta and Loyola.

That same year, there was another game, between Loyola and Sir George Williams, which drew 19,000 at the Forum but that was part of a doubleheader, which included a game between the Junior Canadiens and the Toronto Marlies.
