With another week of solid performances, the Napanee U15 Stars finished the regular season with a perfect 26-0 season. Saturday at home, they controlled Frontenac 5-1. Devin Robinson scored in the first, but their opponents kept it interesting with a tally of their own. After the goal, right off the faceoff, Kohen Cutler got the winner 16 seconds later, and Ben Kerr tallied from the slot moments later. Luc Asselstine continued the onslaught, and Evan Gaffney got a power play marker on a solid point shot. Shots favoured Napanee 26-14.
Earlier, they defeated Gananoque 6-1, also at home. Wyatt Albright had a pair, and singles went to Oliver Kimmett, Colton Lockridge, Gaffney, and Brock Boutilier with the locals again outshooting their guests 43-16.
The U18 Stars slid into first place past Douro with a 5-2 win over Stirling, their sixth in a row. They were full value for the win with goals by Ty Kemp, Spencer Cranley, Jack Osborne and Jayden Holden (two goals). They played a disciplined game, letting Stirling warm the penalty box.
One day earlier, in Picadilly, the boys had to stage a comeback to win 3-2. The boys spotted Frontenac a pair, before they cued the comeback. In a rather rough game, Gavin Brooks scored; Osborne tied things up, and Luc Amat tallied the winner with 4:39 left on the clock.
The U13 squad finished the regular season with a tight match in Wellington, where they settled for a 3-3 tie with Prince Edward County to tie them with P.E.C. for second in the league standings behind Frontenac. Late in the first, Hudson Conger found the net, and Jacob Lyons made it 2-0 in the second. Their hosts scored three to take the lead, but Daniel Hough would get the equalizer with less than four minutes left in the game.
