LANTZ: <\/strong>The East Hants Ryson Construction Penguins remain alive in their best-of-seven championship final against the Admirals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a second straight thrilling double overtime game, the Pens this time came away the winner to force a game five in the series next Friday in Lantz and avoid being swept by the Admirals, who had a daunting 3-0 series lead heading into this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game four was played before a boisterous crowd at Credit Union Centre in Kingston on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a rough game, which has been the norm between the N.S. Regional Jr C league’s top two teams, with the teams combing for 30 penalty minutes, with Admirals getting 16 and East Hants 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing without Captain Sam Rogers (not listed on the game sheet), the Pens were led by affiliate player Braden Martin, an alum from the Kings Hockey Club U16 AAA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin scored the two Pens goals in regulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assists went to Garrett MacLean; Dylan Rafuse; and Nathan Langille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Admirals tied the game with 6:14 left to force the overtime period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first extra frame solved nothing, before Cam Fisher scored at 6:15 on the power-play of the second overtime, unassisted, to earn the victory for East Hants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
