Despite being considered two of the favorites going in, Aurora and Nanaimo where both looking for their
first win of the tournament. Aurora opened the scoring on an individual effort by Francis Walker to give the
Tigers a 1-0 lead. Tyson Mullock responded for the Clippers with a power-play goal three minutes later to tie
things at 1-1. Sean Scully ripped one top shelf from the point for another power-play goal, this time by the
Tigers, to restore their one goal lead. With a 2-1 Aurora lead in the second, penalties continued to play a
big part in this game as Nanaimo’s Tyler Mugford scored his teams’ second power-play goal to knot things up
at 2-2. Aurora, with their second two man advantage, scored yet another power-play goal when Sean Scully
scored his second of the night in a goal very similar to his first period goal picking the top shelf again.
As Nanaimo struggled to stay out of the box, Aurora capitalized on its third 5-3 advantage with Francis
Walker’s second goal of the night. The Tigers held a 4-2 going into the third, and that proved to be enough.
Nanaimo faces the Grande Prairie Storm tomorrow in the only game on the slate. This is the most anticipated
match-up of the round robin as it will be the first time these two team meet since the Doyle Cup final that
Nanaimo won 4 games to 1.
