Playoffs Game 6 - Hanover Falcons #1
The Walkerton Capitals would travel to Hanover to play the Falcons #1 team on Saturday, March 4th, 2017.  The game would have the top two teams during the regular season play each other for the first time in the playoffs.  During the regular season each team would win a game 3-0 with each team winning in the others arena. 

The game started at a torrid pace with each team firing shots at the opponents net.  The two goalies were kept busy making some great saves and covering up loose rebounds.  Hanover would open the scoring late in the first when a wrist shot would find the back of the net.  Walkerton would pepper the Hanover net but were unable to get the puck over the goal line. 

 

The second period started much the same way as the first ended the two teams making end to end rushes.  Walkerton’s Travis Goll would score from the side of the net when during a goal mouth scramble his shot bounced into the air and past the Hanover goaltender.  After 20 minutes of play the two teams were locked in a 1-1 tie. 

 

The third period and the two teams would continue with the great scoring chances at both ends.  The goalies were stellar in net with each team doing their best to tuck a puck past them.  Walkerton was able to get the puck past the net-minder but unable to score the go ahead goal.  The period would end tied with the boys going into a 10 minute overtime. 

 

Once again the play would go from end to end and side to side.  The play was fantastic with heart stopping action.  In the end the overtime would solve nothing and the game would end 1-1.  The parents and fans in the crowd were treated to an excellent game.  The Capitals should be very proud of the way they played and playing so well as a team.
