The Mitchell Hawks ended the Ironmen’s season with a 5-2 victory in game seven of the best-of-seven semi-final series. Mitchell won the series four games to three. Game seven was played at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex on Sunday night. The Hawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period and added a third tally in the second period.

Just over a minute later, Mitchell made it 4-2 and they added an empty net marker at 19:11. Coach Chad Haggitt said he was disappointed in losing game seven. “We lost to a good team,” he said. “They are going to give Walkerton all they can handle.” The coach said they rolled three lines all night. “There were a couple of guys on the fourth line who saw very little ice time. According to Haggitt, Mitchell did a good job of forechecking the Ironmen.“We did a better job on Saturday adjusting to their forechecking,” he said. The coach said the Ironmen played hard in the game, andthroughout the series.Wingham forced a game sevenwith a 4-2 decision over the Hawksin a game played in Mitchell on Saturday evening. Chris Corbett gave the Ironmen a 1-0 lead at 11:10 of period one. Wade Stephenson made it 2-0 at 14:45 of period two. Cory MacDonald gave the Ironmen a three-goal lead at 5:59 of the third period.

The Hawks took a 3-2 series lead last Friday in a game played in Wingham by scoring a 4-1 decision. Mitchell scored once in the first period and added a second goal in the second period. Brett Brophy got the Ironmen on the scoreboard at 1:14 of the third period. Mitchell scored two powerplay goals in the third period to claim the victory. “It was not really a good game for us,” coach Haggitt said following the game. He said Mitchell has a lot of veteran players who really want the series to extend their playing career. The coach said that penalties really hurt the Ironmen in the last two games. The Ironmen were having trouble getting the puck out of their zone throughout the game and Haggitt said it was because they were a bit lax in their own zone. Mitchell evened the series at two games apiece on Feb. 22 with a 4-3 decision in Mitchell. The Ironmen took a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Cole Pellett and Kellum. Stephenson made it 3-0 at 1:56 of the second period. Mitchell scored two goals in the second period and added two third period powerplay goals to claim the victory. The Ironmen awards banquet is being held Saturday, April 16 in the Knights of Columbus Centre.
