Midget A Barons squeeze out first win in finals
For a team that had lost only one game all season long, a 7-5 score was not what they were used to.
But with that 7-5 win over St. Walburg on Monday night, the midget A Barons STEP league team is now one victory away from a league championship, as they lead the best 2-of-3 series 1-0.
“We’re not used to giving up that many goals,” Barons head coach Kelly Page said after the win. “I think the difference was our power play. We had three goals on the power play and we work it well. We go with four forwards out there and we move the puck so well and get lots of traffic [in front of the net].”
Rett Taggart and captain Cody Kalyn led the way for the Barons, each with a five-point night, while Presley Peterson and Spencer Sack each notched three points.
