The Midget A Lions had two games over the weekend closing off their regular season.

On Saturday, the team faced off at home against the Aylmer Icebergs in a rematch from last weekend. The Lions had mostly a full squad with only one player still on the suspension list. But the boys didn’t disappoint.

By the end of the second period, Evan Atkinson had netted three goals for a hat trick with help from Willis Egan and Jaden Stewart. Final score 3-1 for a Lions win.

On Sunday, the team travelled to Gatineau for their final regular season game in an evening match up against the seventh place Barons. The Lions had their full line up on the bench and it showed with a goal on the first shift from Nick Curley assisted by Tyler Stanton and Hunter Lukacs-Hitz. They didn’t stop there, the final score of the game was 7-1 for the Lions. It was a nice way to end the season. Other goals came from Jaden Stewart (two), Harry Lukacs-Hitz, Curley, Stanton and Carson Rusenstrom. Assists on the goals went to Connor Gilpin, Hunter L-H, Stanton (two), Atkinson (three), Harry L-H (two) and Rusenstrom.

The Midget A Lions ended the regular season with 19 wins, one loss and two ties. Goalie, Kaelen Ireland had 11 shut outs during the season and only allowed 14 shots get passed him.

The team will now wait for the playoff schedule due to start on Feb. 23.
