Andrew George scored the eventual game-winning goal in the second period to stake the local KC “AA” PeeWees to a 6-5 victory over the Atikokan Flyers in exhibition hockey action here Sunday.
The KCs jumped out to a 3-2 lead after the first period on goals by Marc Riordon, Scott Bridgeman, and Tyler Barker.
Tanner Kaemingh, Andrew Perrault and George then scored for a 6-3 lead after two.
Atikokan’s Steven Sus and Jared Wood scored third-period goals to pull to within one. Wood finished the game with three goals while Sus added a pair.
It was the KC’s second close win in the past few days as Shane Belluz netted the game-winning goal in the third period to lift his team to a 4-3 win over Lake of the Woods in Baudette last Friday.
Bryan Chambers and Jamie Davis drew the assists.
The teams were deadlocked at 2-2 after the first period. Matt Ramiller scored both goals for Lake of the Woods while Andrew Mueller and Barker replied for the KCs.
