Chester Clippers Fall In Semis At Atlantics

It was a heart-wrenching loss for the Chester Clippers. The local junior 'C' hockey club fell 5-4 in double overtime to the host Hampton Hurricanes, eliminating them from the Atlantic championships and ending their season abruptly. The loss is one that is tough to swallow for the Clippers, who allowed the tying goal with only six seconds left in the game. It will be an all-New Brunswick final, as the Western Valley Panthers won the other semi-final. Ben Bailey, Kyle Dilosa, Jeremy Church and Justin Bowen are this year's overage players and will not be back for another year.
