The Toronto Golden Jets senior men’s Gold team closed out the second weekend of NCL play on Sunday with its third win in a row.
On Friday, in the first game of the tournament, the Jets were upset by Montreal CHAOS in a shootout. It was only fitting that the team would get a chance at redemption as the draw for Sunday put CHAOS in their sights.
The teams traded goals three times in the first quarter to enter the second period tied at 3-3. The Jets were one goal better winning 2-1 to take a 5-4 lead into the second half.
The third quarter proved to be the pivotal one for the Jets as the offence found its groove with four scores while the defence stiffened even more and shut out the visitors. This propelled Toronto to a 9-4 spread heading into the fourth quarter.
The final period was again close with the Jets edging out CHAOS 3-2 en route to a 12-6 win.
Diego Gonzalez paced the Jets attack with four goals, supported by Adam Mekni’s hattrick. Richard Laurie popped in a pair while Harrison Young, Alex Leblanc and Sam Madadian each scored once.
Next action for the Jets will be a scrimmage game on February 18 at McMaster University in Hamilton against Hamilton.
