The Petes wore their winning design for the annual RCSS CHL Jersey Contest during the game. Designed by Lochlan Pherrill, they were being auctioned off online with all proceeds in support of the President’s Choice Children’s Charity. To date, the Real Canadian Superstore jersey contests have collectively raised over $864,900 to help feed one million kids each year. The auction runs until Sunday at 8 p.m.
Petes goaltender, Easton Rye, stopped all 38 shots, while 67’s netminder, Jaeden Nelson, made 25 saves before having to settle things in overtime.
The Petes broke out of their own zone as Petes captain Carson Cameron gained the offensive zone on the rush. He made a centring pass to Brennan Faulkner who found the back of the net off a tip-in and scored the game’s only goal for a 1-0 win over Ottawa.
