Powassan over Rapids

Powassan picks up win in French River

Paced by a pair of Caden Dubreuil markers, including the eventual game-winner, the Powassan Voodoos went on to defeat the French River Rapids 5-1 Saturday in Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League action at Noelville Arena.

The visiting Voodoos were quick to strike in this one with Dubreuil snapping a shot past Rapids’ netminder Carter Vicente from a sharp angle, just 2:19 into the match-up.

Coming back to tie it nearly nine minutes into the second period, French River’s Nolan Masson worked his way free in the left circle and wired a chance by Powassan’s Austin Seibel.

Going ahead once more, Dubreuil notched another for the visitors as he pumped a rising short-side effort over the shoulder on Vicente for a man advantage effort at 14:16.

The Voodoos then went up by two when Nathan Pelletier went to the net and finished off a chance from in close to give them a 3-1 lead after two.

In the final frame, Powassan added to their edge early on a Riley Misa effort as he completed an Anthony Boyes feed at 1:41.

They then saw Jeremy Schoenborn secure the result deep in regulation as he was sent in alone on a breakaway and made no mistake with a crisp attempt from the left wing to round out the scoring.

With the outcome, the Voodoos move to 12-10-0-3 and with the loss, the Rapids fall to 8-16-1-2.
