Team White takes final intersquad game 6-3

Team White skated to a 6-3 win over Team Black in the third and final intersquad game tonight in Pownal.

A line of Daniel Sprong, Alexandre Goulet and Oliver Cooper combined for four of the six Team White goals.

Cooper, acquired from the Saint John Sea Dogs in the offseason, said he can't remember the last time he played with three good players like that.

"It makes the game a lot easier than it should be. They're unbelievable players."

It was a high tempo intersquad game, said Cooper.

"It gives the chance for the guys to kinda get used to some line combinations for the exhibition games."

Logan Cooke, a goaltending hopeful to crack the roster, said it was a good game.

"The boys gave me a chance to stop the puck and were battling hard."

Cooke said he needs to work hard to earn that back-up position behind Mason McDonald this year.

"Prove everyday when you come to the rink that you're ready and you want to be here, stay motivated and battle hard."

Cooper, Sprong and Goulet scored in the first period to give Team White a 3-0 lead.

Sprong added his second of the game in the second period to increase Team White's lead to 4-0. The second period saw the first fight of the intersquad games with Zach Beaton and Samuel Jutras going toe-to-toe.

Ross Johnston put Team Black on the board before Spenser Cobbold made it a 4-2 game. Curtis Scales gave Team White a 5-2 lead before Zach Beaton made it 6-2. Kameron Kielly capped off the scoring, bringing Team Black within three.

Cobbold, who is fighting for the final overage spot on the team, said there's good competition for the spot.

"I just gotta come in day in and day out and work hard and just hope for the best."

Teams are only allowed to carry three overage players every season.

Mason McDonald allowed no goals during his time in goal for Team White. Luke House allowed three goals to share the win for Team White.

Darryl MacCallum started the game for Team Black allowed four goals. Cooke finished the game allowing two goals.

The Islanders are in Moncton tomorrow for an exhibition tilt against the Wildcats at 7 p.m. The first home exhibition game is Saturday at 3 p.m against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
