CCHL YZERMAN DOWNS OJHL SOUTH 4-2

Press Release

 The final game of day one at the 2012 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge presented by Huff Estates in memory of Peter Huff was another close affair that would see the CCHL Yzerman Division All-Stars narrowly defeat the OJHL South Division All-Stars 4-2.

Just over five minutes into the first period the two teams would trade goals with Corey Kalk of the North York Rangers notching his second of the tournament and Luc Deschamps of the Ottawa Jr. Senators replying for the Yzerman Division.  Fabian Walsh of the Kanata Stallions gave the CCHL a lead with just two minutes remaining, but the OJHL South would answer back quickly with another North York Ranger, John Carpino, knotting the game at two.

CCHL Yzerman would take over the game in period two on the strength of goals from Ryan Collins and Ben Robillard of the Ottawa Jr. Senators, giving the Yzerman Division All-Stars their first victory of the tournament 4-2 over the OJHL South Division All-Stars.  Netminder Andy Munroe of the Pembroke Lumber Kings picked up the victory with a 16 save performance.

The Player of the Game for the CCHL Yzerman Division was Fabian Walsh, while Corey Kalk took home the honours for the OJHL South Division.
