Bulldogs drop Game 5

The Six Nations Rebels are the 2011 OJBLL Champions after Game 5 of the series was halted with 1:43 left in regulation and the Rebels leading 10-7.

With 1:43 remaining in regulation, Six Nations scored a 5-on-3 powerplay goal. Following the goal, three Rebels surrounded one Bulldogs player which then set off a brawl that caused officials Ryan Fowler and Brent Coloumbe to end the game as they were unable to regain control of the situation on the floor.

After jumping out to a 7-4 lead early in the second period, the Bulldogs grinded out 3 goals to tie the game 7-7. Six Nations took an 8-7 lead into the dressing room after two periods.

With 7:54 remaining in the third period, Six Nations scored to take a 9-7 lead. With just under 3 minutes to go, the Bulldogs were assessed a pair of minor penalties just 18 seconds apart which ended the threat of a comeback. Six Nations scored on the powerplay to make the final 10-7.

The Bulldogs graduate 5 players from their roster. Blake Kenny, Shawn Stringer, Brad Mazzocato, Thomas Harding and 2010 Founders Cup Hero Dylan Gilbert. That leaves the Bulldogs with 22 players eligible to return for next season.

The Dogs have reached the Final 4 in the OJBLL for the past 5 consecutive seasons and have played in the Ontario Final in 3 of the last 5 seasons winning the National Championship in 2010.
