LANTZ: A three goal second period propelled the East Hants Ryson Construction Penguins to a home ice victory on Saturday night.

The N.S. Regional Junior C Hockey League game was played at the Keith Miller Arena in the East Hants Sportsplex.

The contest was a very chippy affair between the two teams who one could sense did not like each other one bit.

That was also evident in the number of penalty minutes the two combined for in the game. East Hants had 46 penalty minutes, while Newport totalled 73 penalty minutes.
