A good crowd was on hand to witness the Fox & Fiddle stave off elimination Tuesday night with a dramatic 4-3 OT victory over Bruell Contracting to even up their best of three championship final 1-1 in the North Bay Men’s Ball Hockey League.
Anthony Maldon scored twice, including the OT winner, while Tye Sheppard and Alain Pouliot also replied for the Fox.
Logan Hunt scored twice for Bruell with Troy Lajeunesse getting the other.
The game was very intense and Bruell thought they had won at the end of regulation but the buzzer sounded to end the third period just before Kyle Regimbold tapped in a rebound. Both Bryan Lawson and Jake Piche played very well in their respective nets.
The third and deciding game goes Thursday night 7 p.m. at West Ferris Arena
