This has been one heck of a series. Hamilton had a slow start to this playoff series. After being outscored 12-3 through the first two games the Kilty B’s have regrouped and made this an intense and wild series. Three straight games have gone into overtime with the Kilty B’s and Falcons splitting the last two. But Friday night’s game at Jack Gatecliff Rink was a sudden death game for the black and gold. Down three games to one in the series, it was all on the line for the Junior “B” team from Hamilton.

And they didn’t disappoint.

Freddie Teeple got the Kilty B’s on the board first with a goal late in the first period. The Hamilton native thrilled the out of town Teeple’s people when he netted his fourth goal of the playoffs at 15:21 of the period.

The Falcons were kept off the scoreboard for the entire first period and the majority of the second period as well until St. Catharine’s Dakota Miskolczi managed to beat Hamilton’s netminder Marco Costantini at 19:39 of the second period.

After that goal tied the game the two teams played more than another full game of hockey Friday night as the game went to overtime. Triple overtime.

Finally as the teams were certainly starting to feel some fatigue, Oakville native and Kilty B’s forward Chris Ishmael scored the game winning goal for Hamilton at 18:14 of triple overtime to win the game for the Kilty B’s.

Next the Kilty B’s will return home to “The Hive” at the Dave Andreychuck Mountain Arena on Sunday night at 7:30pm. Trailing in the series 3-2 the Kilty B’s look to even the series with the Falcons.
