BEDFORD<\/strong>: It wasn\u2019t the ending to the 2021-2022 regular season the Bedford Barons were hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barons fell 2-1 in a high-energy, hard-hitting contest with rival The Rangers, a N.S. U-15 hockey league rival. The Rangers have players from the Fall River area that are friends with other Fall River area kids that suit up with the Barons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the Make-A-Wish game for the Barons, who had a full house inside Arena A at the HRM 4-Pad, formerly known as the BMO Centre in Hammonds Plains\/Bedford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max Blackwood of the Windsor Junction area led the Rangers with a goal and an assist for the victory. They had clinched the league title on Sunday in their win against Novas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedford hit several posts in the first while Nolan McLauchlan also made a couple big saves when it appeared the Rangers didn\u2019t have their game legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barons came out at the drop of the puck ready to play, however they couldn\u2019t bury it. At one point the shots were 10-3 in the second period the shot clock showed for Bedford, but the score was 1-0 Ranger son Blackwood\u2019s tally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casey Wentzell scored the game winner with 5:05 left in the final stanza. They did not score into the empty net as they shot the puck wide a couple times and Bedford defenders got in the shooting line to block any shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Sexton of Fall River, Josh Hollett, and Maddex Marmulak had the other assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall River\u2019s Drew Allison had one of the assists on the Barons goal, scored by Schafer Gibbs. The other helper went to Cole Chandler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game got heated late in the third period after a nasty looking hit by a Bedford player on a Ranger that saw the latter stay on the ice for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans in the crowd (along the board at the score clock end) could be heard yelling at the game\u2019s officials, especially after they only gave a minor penalty for the hit. Those upset felt it was worthy of a major and game misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McLachlan stopped 16 of 17 shots he faced for the win, while Bedford goalie Payson Stewart was tagged in the loss turning away 17 of 19 pucks sent his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
