In other pool play on the first day of D2 regionals in Kingston, Yarmouth had a 6-4 win over Digby and West Kings had a 5-2 win over Central Kings.
The regionals title championship game did not go ahead on March 7 following a medical issue at the arena just prior to the game. It was agreed the regionals title game between NKEC and Horton would be rescheduled for a later date.
In the crossovers the morning of March 7, West Kings defeated Digby and Yarmouth defeated Central Kings to play in the game to determine 3rd and 4th place regionals rankings. West Kings had a spectacular third period come-from-behind win to claim victory in that game 7-5.
Yarmouth and West Kings had been tied 1-1 as the second period was drawing to a close but Yarmouth gained the 2-1 lead, scoring with 0.1 seconds left on the clock. In the third period Yarmouth jumped ahead to a 4-1 lead. West Kings closed the gap to 4-3 before Yarmouth went ahead 5-3. With just over two minutes left in the game West Kings tied the score 5-5. The Wolverines then scored the go-ahead goal 26.7 seconds left and rounded out the scoring on Yarmouth Viking’s empty net with 15.4 seconds left.
As mentioned, following that game, West Kings had to await the outcome of a March 8 regionals series final involving the provincials host team Amherst. Amherst won the game 5-1, which means West Kings advances to provincials too. Had Amherst lost that series, West Kings wouldl have had to play a qualifier with Dalbrae high school.
Yarmouth, meanwhile, must now play a qualifier Eastern Shore to determine which of these two teams will advance to provincials. Due to March Break, that qualifier won’t be played until later this month.
