Battalion on the brink

The North Bay Battalion are in a must win situation after a 5-3 game four loss to Niagara last night at Memorial Gardens.

The IceDogs have taken a 3-1 series lead.

The Troops were down 4-1 with only a few minutes to play and scored two quick goals, but an empty-netter sealed the victory for Niagara.

Battalion Assistant Coach Adam Dennis says they’re hoping the late surge carries over into Game Five tonight.

“I think it should be confidence for us, we broke through at the end.  We’d like to do it a little bit sooner, make sure we’re ready and start on time,” he says.

Brad Chenier, Theo Calvas and Luke Moncada were the goal scorers for the Troops last night.

Dennis says they have to keep fighting.

“We’re not done, we’ve got another game, we’re going to bring our best,” he says.
