The Oilers traveled to Flint Township Friday night to the Iceland Arena for their match up with the Tri-City Chiefs. The Chiefs, a three team cooperative between Lake Fenton, Linden & Durand.
The Boys were looking to avenge a 1-0 loss to the Chiefs at home last year and avenge they did!
The very young Chiefs had their backs up against the wall from the moment the puck dropped and although Mt. Pleasant jumped out to a 1-0, they had a brief scare when a defensive zone face off was lost and a shot from the slot was deflected by a defnesemen tying the game and bringing a loud roar from the home crowd.
However, the crowd didn't have long to cheer as it was all Mt. Pleasant aafter that, scoring four more times int he first and taking a 5-1 lead in to the locker room.
They came out in the second, kept the foot on the gas and ended the game after two periods with a five goal performance in the second. The Oilers spread it around as wel with 11 of the 13 positional players who dressed for the game registering at least a point.
Goal scorers were:
Robert Backs (3, hat trick), Eric DeLorenzo, Jesse McDevitt-Irwin, Logan Elliot, Bryce Bolles, Max Heeke, Dan Pulver and Evan Huber. Assists were handed out to Backus (2), Huber (4), Drew Dickinson, Pulver, Nathan Pittsley & RJ Cilibraise.
Freshman goalie Nick Burkholder picked up the win making 5 saves on 6 shots. The Oilers, now 5-8 will travel to Big rapids Tuesday night for a game that was originally scheduled to be played on the 11th of January but cancelled due to the flu epidemic and the school district cancelling all activities.
