In the second half, the two teams were trading baskets and CPC was unable to fully extend the lead until the late 4th quarter where Aiden Nunes hit some big shots and Marcus Green sealed the deal with a strong attack.

The Varsity Girls Hockey team travelled to Hamilton on the 16th, and played a hard fought game against an aggressive Hillfield Strathallan College team. They were put to the test and had to really dig deep in order to gain any sort of advantage. With a pair of goals in the first period by Neely Van Volsen the girls picked up steam and kept battling. To start the second period, Olivia Chodat came off the bench from an injury and picked up a goal, which was then followed up by an impressive show of dekes by Jenna Smellie to put in another. The girls faced penalty troubles in the third, however, they did not stop pushing forward – Karianne Engelbert put in the final goal short handed early in the third to give the girls the 5-0 victory. Shoutouts go out to Mya Lucifora who displayed her athleticism in the net and grabbing her fifth consecutive shutout. See photos!
