Petes Drop Attack In Extra Time
The Petes were itching for a victory when they took on highly regarded Montreal Canadiens prospect Nick Suzuki and the Owen Sound Attack for Special Olympics Night. The Liftlock Lads were successful in their rout of the Attack, claiming the night 4-3 in overtime to secure a win in their first of three games in as many days.
The game started off with a ceremonial puck drop featuring Peterborough Special Olympian Crystal Cochrane, Peterborough Police Service Chief Scott Gilbert, and the Honourable Premier Doug Ford.

While Timleck would get the hat trick without question, Hunter Jones would not come away with a shutout as Griffin Wilson slipped one past him for the Attack with the assistance of Cade Robinson to put Owen Sound on the board 3-1.
After 40 minutes the shots on goal would be 22-21 in favour of the Attack.

Owen Sound would get back within one goal thanks to a lightning bolt from Kaleb Pearson which was fed to him by the combined efforts of Kevin Hancock and Daylon Groulx to make the score 3-2.
With 11 minutes remaining and after a short review, Owen Sound was awarded their third goal which tied the game 3-3 from Maksim Sushko, assisted by Los Angeles Kings prospect Aidan Dudas and defenceman Brady Lyle.
The third period would end on a tie, sending the two clubs into overtime to decide the ultimate winner. At the end of 60 minutes the shots would mirror the score, tied 35-35.
The overtime winner would go to the home team with 3:06 remaining in the extra period as Brady Hinz claimed a rocket from Declan Chisholm and Liam Kirk to mark it 4-3 in favour of the Petes and finally secure his team a victory.
