Potsdam’s Max Warden and Canton’s Nathan Gibson (12)
meet for a bone-jarring hit in the middle of the ice,
during a highly-physical third period. Warden set up
Trevor Keleher for the Sandstoners’ second goal of the
middle frame just 5½ minutes apart. Kelleher’s shot was
deflected upward, ricocheted off the right goalpost and
under the crossbar. Logan Ford iced the 3-0 win for
Potsdam when he stole the puck near the Canton net and
tucked in an unassisted goal in the final four minutes.
Ford also assisted on the first goal. Both
goaltenders, Canton’s Jake Watson and Potsdam’s Devin
Crary, stopped 18 shots each. (Eric

Canton’s Gage Emerson (4) and Sean Rodee (8) chip away
at a rebound that is covered up by Massena goalie Connor
Paquin (31). Massena’s Dylan Stone pumped home the
game-tying goal with less than two minutes to go in
regulation at Canton, then the Raiders and Bears played
five minutes of scoreless overtime to forge a 2-2 tie.
The Raiders pummeled Canton goalie Jake Watson (38 saves
overall) with rubber in the first period, but the Bears’
keeper allowed just one goal late in the period. Dalton
Mullin assisted on both Massena goals. The Bears
dominated Massena in the second period. “That’s as good
a period as we have had in a long time,” Canton Coach
Randy Brown told NCSN. The Bears got on the scoreboard
when Massena got caught on a line change and Andrew
McCormick broke free from the blue line for his
first-ever varsity goal. Josh Parker tipped and Brandon
Rodee screen shot past Massena keeper Connor Paquin (20
saves) late in the first period that gave Canton a 2-1
advantage.
