Tuesday Jan. 24 The North Winnipeg Satelites faced off against the league leading Arborg Ice Dawgs Tuesday night at the Billy Mosienko Arena and won a hard fought 8-6 victory, and in the process snapped the Ice Dawgs seven game winning streak. The Satelites were in front after the first twenty minutes taking a 2-0 lead on power play goals from Josh Black and Conor Stephenson. Shane Taylor pulled the Ice Dawgs to within one with a power play marker six minutes into the second only to have the Satelites extend their lead to 3-1 on a power play goal from Brendan Girard. The Ice Dawgs replied with two quick goals a minute and a half apart off the sticks of Cody Gibson and Vance English to send the game into the third period tied at three. In the third, Bruce Hoban put the Satelites out in front again with a pair of goals but the lead didn't last as Jeff English and Brady Collins drew the Ice Dawgs even once again. Kris Sinclair put the Satelites up by one again with six and a half minutes left in the game but Jordan Anderson scored to tie the game up at six. With about a minute and a half left in the game Gary Duszak knocked down a Bryce Hnatiw point shot that bounced behind the Arborg netminder to give the Satelites a 7-6 lead, then Hoban added some insurance with a short handed empty net goal to complete the hat trick with 55 seconds left on the clock as the Satelites held the Dawgs at bay the rest of the way.
