Home teams bat .500 in recent Island junior B hockey action

Home ice was so-so for Island Junior Hockey League (IJHL) teams recently.

The Arsenault’s Fish Mart Western Red Wings dropped a 4-1 decision to the Cap-Pele Predators in Abram-Village while the Eastern Maniacs downed the Kensington Moase Plumbing and Heating Vipers 5-2 in Souris.

Kensington’s loss was its first of the season, but it still leads the circuit with a 4-1 record. Cap-Pele was in P.E.I. for the first IJHL-New Brunswick junior B league interlocking game this season.

Maniacs 5, Vipers 2

MacDonald completed the hat trick with a shorthanded goal late in the third period.

Eastern led 4-1 after the first and second periods and went 1-for-3 on the power play.

Kensington was 0-for-4 with the extra man.

Riley Gallant and Easton Smith netted the Vipers markers.

Cam Duffy earned the win over Cameron Visser.

Predators 4, Red Wings 1

Cap-Pele proved a bad guest in Abram-Village with four goals during the last two periods and took the opening round of the interlocking schedule between the P.E.I. and New Brunswick junior B leagues.

Cap-Pele’s Marcel Newcomb, Kevin McGraw and Jeremie Boudreau (2) did the honours, while winning goalie Justin Mitton held the fort against 26 Red Wings shots.

Alexi Guitard added two assists.

Western led 1-0 at the end of the first period on a goal by Abel Arsenault. Cap-Pele took a 2-1 edge at the second intermission.
