Carleton Place, Ont.

The Ottawa Valley Titans Minor Bantam team routed The Eastern Ontario Cobras 9-3, to raise their record to 3 wins and 1 loss for this season. The Torpedo offence was on full display in this game as the Titans scored early and often, on route to the big victory.

Sam Coyne scored both first period goals to spark the offence. Kyle Couvieau and Zach Farris got it going early in the second. Linden Bahm responded with a natural hat trick and Tim Rusheleau closed out the scoring with two more goals. The Titans had a 9-0 lead at the end of two periods, but the Cobras responded in the third period by popping in three goals of their own, two of which came on the power play.

The Titans got solid goal tending from Joel Grills and used their overpowering speed to dominate the game. Sam Coyne had 4 assists, while Shayne Thompson and Patrick Lester tallied two each. Single helpers went to Mike Moreau, Mitch Melanson, Mat McNeely and Linden Bahm to round out the point tally.
