Joe Jordan and Jack Miles put Rockland into the tie position with Navan, forcing the overtime action.

Nats vs Sens

A 4-2 home ice win, last Friday, over the Ottawa Junior Senators helped keep Rockland in the lead position in the Yzerman division. The Nats outshot the Sens, with goals scored by Scrivens, Sullivans and two from Cole Craft. Scrivens’ and Crafts’ performance last Friday night earned them three-star player nominations.
