Ice Dogs Defeat Northstars
#19 Ben McClellan 2 Goals, 1 Assist including the Winner. First Star Of The Game
It couldn’t have been scripted any better for the Dryden Ice Dogs, in what was their last regular season game of the 2009/2010 regular season match up against the Fort William Northstars. With the first period being scoreless, the two teams would head into the second period tied at zero.
The Northstars would get the lead early in the second. Ben McClellan, in what could agrueably have been his best game of the year, would even things up at 14:48 with the assists goin to Chad Liley and Kyle Heck. Less than 2 minutes later, 16:44 to be exact, BJ McClellan would get Dryden the lead, with the helpers coming from Ben McClellan and Andrew Hanson. Dryden would find themselves heading into the 3rd period, with a 2-1 lead.
The Northstars would tie things up in the third, while on the powerplay. That would be the lone goal in the 3rd, sending the final game of the League’s Season into Overtime. And what an overtime it was, with Dryden finding themselves on the powerplay after the Northstar player would find himself serving 2 minutes for elbowing. But before Dryden could capitalize, the Northstars would be awarded a penalty shot, only to be shutdown by Dryden’s netminder, Curtis Barker. Moments later, Ben McClellan would light the lamp sending the Ice Dogs to victory. Kyle Heck and Chad Liley would get the helpers on the winner.
So as the regular season wraps up, the Dryden Ice Dogs defeat the Fort William Northstars, 3-2 in overtime. Curtis Barker would get the win between the pipes for Dryden, as he stopped 32 of 34 shots, giving him second star of the game. With a 3 point night ( 2 goals and 1 assist ) including the winning Goal, Ben McClellan gets First Star of the game, while Chad Liley would get the Third Star of the game!
