Port Huron Flags News Release
In Brief
· 12/22: Early Christmas Present!
The Beacons traveled to Fraser for the last game before the Christmas break. They did not disappoint as they found the back of the net six times en route to a 6-4 beating of the Mechanics. David Beauregard found the net twice for his 20th and 21st goals of the season as well as Gabriel Proulx who lit the lamp twice (5,6 as a Beacon, 7,8 on the season). Jason Firth (1) and Malcolm MacMillan (6) had the other goals for the Beacons. Aaron Brand (21,22) and Andrew McPherson (16,17) both tallied a pair of assists, while Joey Sewell notched three assists (10,11,12). Stu Dunn made 20 saves on 24 shots for his seventh win on the season.
· 12/26: Late Christmas Present!
Third times the charm!! And so it was as the Beacons scored three goals (one empty net) on way to a 3-1 victory over the Fury. The scoring began in the second as Ian Jacobs (4) scored with one second left on the power play, netting the assists were, Shayne Tomlinson (5) and Trevor Edwards (12). In the third Chad Dameworth (3) blasted one home from the point to make it a 2-0 Beacons lead. However, just 39 seconds later the FuryÂ’s Robin Bouchard scored to cut the lead to one. Then with less than a minute to go in the game David Beauregard (22) took a feed from Joey Sewell (13) and Andrew McPherson (18) to put the final nail in the coffin of the Fury. Stu Dunn was once again solid in net stopping 28 of 29 shots, earning his eighth victory of the season.
