Cannoneers Come Up Empty Despite Chances

The Jefferson Hockey team traveled up to Potsdam, New York to face the Golden Knights of Clarkson University. This was a big test for Cannoneers given the fact of the Golden Knights played at a division higher.  

The first period was a fast-paced back-and-forth battle. The Cannoneers would strike first with Owen Bismarck with a snapper to the top right corner giving them the 1-0 lead. The period would continue with the fast pace until the Golden Knights fired one back towards the end of the period making it 1-1 heading into the 2nd period. 

The 2nd was no different from the 1st. The Cannoneers and Golden Knights would continue the back-and-forth with bigger hits and scrums throughout the period. But the Golden Knights would eventually strike again making it 2-1 heading to the 3rd. 

The 3rd period unfortunately wouldn't begin the Cannoneers' way. The Golden Knights would fire a quick power play goal to start the 3rd and 2 more right after to make the score 5-1. The Cannoneers created several scoring opportunities but were unable to add to the scoreboard and finished the game with a 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights. 

The Cannoneers are back at home to face the nationally ranked Central Maine Community College on September 27th at the Watertown Municipal Arena.
