Braves win 3-2 over the rejuvnated Navan Grads in overtime, but I just have to say it "Folks you don't know what you are missing !". The Brockville Braves Friday night home games are the best entertainment in town, bar none. In the 7 home games since the New Year;

• They beat the 1st place Ottawa senators 5 –3
• Downed three other teams ahead of them in the standings
• Played 4 OverTime games , winning three of them
• Moved to within striking distance  of the teams in 2 to 6

What more can a fan ask for, these guys are playing thir hearts out and producing wins.

Last night was another classic example of the “NEW” Brockville Braves as they played 2nd place Navan Grads. Navan goaltender, Braeden McIntosh (  27 wins ) kept the Braves at bay most of the game. During the first 58 minutes only Buffalo, NY’s Matt “Chuck”  Yeager (13-9-22) was able to get a puck past him. In that same period Owen Parsons ( 27-24-51) cored his 27th goal of the season and Simon Singher (4-14-18) chipped in with his 4th of the campaign. Then it was time for some birthday celebrations as Kyle Powers ( 9-7-16) blew out the candles on his 18th birthday cake with a timely goal with less than 90 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and send it into overtime.

There was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing in the OT period, neither  team held back and as in regulation both goalies stood tall. As time wound down, Captain Culhane (2-22-42) returned the favour to his winger Colin “The Big Train” Elliott ( 13-30-43) who banged home the OT winner much to the delight of the delirious hometown fans.

The three stars, appropriately enough, were Elliott, McIntosh and Yeager.
