Home team hangs on for win after close contest decided late
A Jacob Smith power-play goal with less than four minutes to go in regulation turned out to be the winner as the Soo Thunderbirds pulled out a 4-3 win over the French River Rapids in Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League action Saturday at John Rhodes Community Centre.
Tying it late in the first period, Thunderbird captain Gage Evans snapped a shot from the point that sailed through a maze of players for his first league goal. Answering with an equalizer while up a skater, the visitors drew level with Michael Christopoulos knocking in a rebound while battling in front.
