It was a scoreless first period but a well played one before Uxbridge got two goals in the second.

Michael Rennie popped home a shot of the back boards that deflected over to him and he had the wide open net to shoot at. Kyle Spataro’s point shot deflected off a player in front and through the legs of the Eagles net minder for a 2-0 lead.

The Eagles scored early in the third to cut the lead in half but the Bruins kept pressuring and were rewarded with an insurance goal on a great pass by Aiden Reilly to Derek Dolan. Adrian Addante picked up his first point as a Bruin also assisting on the play.

Some great goal tending again by Ryan McConkey for the “W” as he faced 38 shots, the Bruins fired 32 at the Eagles Mark Robb.

The Bruins need a little help from the Mojacks Thursday night. A Port Perry win will keep the Bruins chances alive to finish 3rd in the battle with Clarington. 

Uxbridge host Clarington again on Fri. Feb.2nd at the Bear Den.

(Updated Sat Jan.27/18 Bruins Damien Heinle was released last night from the hospital after satisfactory test results. He will undergo more test today. The Bruins organisation wish Damien a speedy recovery from this very scary moment in last nights game.)

Thanks to our trainer Matt McGuckin and Team Doctor Pat Kiely as well as the Merchants Trainer Terry Quibell and EMS for attending to #28 Damien Heinle of the Bruins, who was injured after a check into the boards. Heinle was taken to the hospital and the latest news we have is that he was in good spirits as he waited to see the Doctor at the Uxbridge hospital.

Damien had a big goal during the game to give his mates a 4-1 lead and that stood up as the winner as the team played the rest of the game with Damien on their mind. Noah Donaghy, Aiden Reilly, Travis Buxcey (APM), Michael Rennie and Daniel Wu scored the other goals in a 6-3 final. Jake Joosten picked up the win in goal.

Damien’s health though, is all the matters right now. Get well soon Damien!

Bruins are in Apsley Sat Jan.27th and at home to Clarington Tues. Jan.30th for a 8:30 pm game.

The Bruins lifted a big weight off their shoulders with a “HUGE WIN” this afternoon in Port Perry. After dropping their last 6 games they came out flying opening up a 2-0 lead on goals by Michael Rennie and Mathew Hunter, allowing one goal to the Mojacks for a 2-1 lead after one.

In the second period Travis Buxcey (APM) scored his first goal in junior c and adding to that was Cameron Moffitt on a beautiful  end to end rush while short handed. Then it was penalty trouble allowing the Mojacks to take the momentum away as they scored 2 power play goals to trail 4-3 after the second period.

In the third another power play goal tied it up but Uxbridge killed off a penalty in the last 2 minutes of the third to send this to overtime. 

It took just 1:15 into the extra time for Simon Feig to intercept a cross ice pass and rush up the ice slipping the puck past the lone defender and firing stick side as he cut to the right to send the Bruins Players and Fans into a huge win celebration. Ryan McConkey made several keys saves in the game as he faced 57 shots.

The Bruins host the Clarington Eagles on Fri. Jan. 12th at the Bear Den.
