The Cubs and Voodoos are back in action in Sudbury Friday evening
Continuing the stellar play on the road, the Powassan Voodoos downed the Greater Sudbury Cubs 5-2 Thursday, April 18 in the opening game of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship series, at the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex.It was a good night for the North Bay area and a bad one for Greater Sudbury in terms of hockey action Thursday evening, as the Sudbury Wolves were eliminated from the playoffs by the North Bay Battalion.
Fresh off notching a late game-winner to close out their East Division series with Timmins, Zach Turner stuffed in a loose puck off a couple of chances generated by Dylan McElhinny at 18:45, that had Greater Sudbury’s Noah Metivier out of his crease. Another man advantage right after that aided in a third Voodoos tally, that featured Reyth Smith converting by roofing a short-side attempt from a sharp angle, into the net, at 5:39.
Up a skater themselves nearing the midway point of the proceedings, Hudson Chitaroni corralled a pin-balling puck and tucked in a backhand past a downed Daniel Dirracolo in the Powassan crease.
