Battalion with a huge upset win on Thursday

The North Bay Battalion scored an upset win over the top team in the CHL Thursday night as they beat the Ottawa 67’s 6-2 at Memorial Gardens.

The Troops are last in the OHL standings.

Head Coach Ryan Oulahen says there was plenty to like about the game for his team.

“Proud of the effort, once again we showed some real good strength in our end,” he says.

Oulahen says it was also great to see the whole team buy in to the game plan.

“We got contributions from a whole bunch of different guys, which equaled a total team effort, and a big team victory,” he says.

Captain Luke Moncada scored a hat trick, including a penalty shot goal, in the Troops’ third straight win.

James Mayotte, Alex Christopoulos and Chad Denault also scored.

The Battalion are back in action Sunday at home to Saginaw.
