Playoff win against Mildmay! 1-0
Minto's Novice LL has had difficulty competing with Mildmay's team as of late in the season. They suffered a loss earlier in the playoff round by Mildmay 7-1 so they expected a pretty tough game on Monday March 9th in Palmerston where they would have to play their second game against Mildmay in the round robin pool.

Mildmay started putting pressure on Minto early testing out their defensive play and it would seem that Minto came ready to play this anticipated game. Minto was quick to clear the puck away from the net and to reduce the amount of shots being taken by Mildmay and Bailey Sinclair stepped in to save the shots when needed. At the end of two exciting periods the game remained scoreless. Minto kept up the pace into the third period and Parker Miller picked up the puck and charged to the net to score the only goal of the night to make it 1-0 for Minto. Great effort by the forwards to keep battling to keep the puck in Mildmay's zone. The defence was solid and on their game. This gave Minto the momentum and confidence to keep up the pace and defeat Mildmay. Congratualations kids on a well deserved and big win! Next playoff game on Monday, March 16th in Listowel at 7:00 p.m.
