Barrie Colts News Release
The Barrie Colts skated to a perfect weekend, collecting four points with back-to-back wins - a hard-fought 5-3 victory over the Oshawa Generals on home ice Saturday night, followed by a thrilling 6-5 shootout win on the road Sunday afternoon in Niagara.
Saturday: Game Recap
The Colts took the ice Saturday night with their newly established leadership group and delivered a complete effort at Sadlon Arena, showcasing strong puck movement, physical play, and a balanced attack in a 5-3 victory over the Oshawa Generals.
Defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson led the charge with two goals and an assist, earning First Star of the Game. Co-Captain Cole Beaudoin opened the scoring with a goal and an assist early in the first period, while Calvin Crombie added another tally off a setup from Teague Vader.
In the second, the Colts continued to press, with Co-Captains Aitcheson and Beaudoin extending the lead and helping Barrie secure its second home win of the season.
Sunday: Game Recap
Less than 24 hours later, the Colts showed resilience on the road, storming back to edge the IceDogs 6-5 in a shootout thriller at the Meridian Centre.
After falling behind early to a hat trick performance from Niagara's Ethan Czata, Barrie roared back in the third period behind another standout effort from Aitcheson and Beaudoin.
#83 Jonah McCormick scored his first career OHL goal to spark the rally, followed by two more from Aitcheson - including a power-play marker - to even the game. Former IceDog Alex Assadourian scored his first goal as a Colt against his former team to give Barrie the lead before Niagara forced overtime.
In the shootout, Brad Gardiner delivered the winner, capping off a dramatic finish and a perfect weekend for the Colts.
With the weekend sweep, the Colts continue to build momentum in the early weeks of OHL's Eastern Conference standings.
