Battalion

Another one goal game has ended the season for the North Bay Battalion. They lost 2-1 to Oshawa in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals and are eliminated from the post-season.

The Troops were down 2-0 going into the third, before Nick Moutrey got them to within a goal. But they couldn’t beat Generals Goaltender Ken Appleby a second time and the Generals are headed to the OHL finals.

The Battalion fought hard to the end and Head Coach Stan Butler was asked if he expected anything less.

Butler says it was a tough and very close played series.

Butler says he’s proud of the season they put together.

Butler was asked about what he thought of the series as a whole.

Overagers Marcus McIvor, Brenden Miller and Ray Huether played their last OHL games. Battalion goaltender Jake Smith made 22 saves on 24 chances in net.
