Knights Game Reports - 2008

Nepean took on the visiting Cornwall Celtics tonight and came away with an important win. The Knights started with and early lead and never looked back. The game wasn't as exciting as some have been in the past, with Cornwall trying to take away the Nepean fast break, but the Knights managed to prevail. With breakaway after breakaway coming at the Cornwall net, the ball started to go in for Nepean. It was a good game for the Knights with strong games by Craig Cowie and Jordan Weedmark.

The game was a good one tonight, with lots of exciting back and forth action. The score was 4-2 Akwesasne after one and 8-6 at the end of the second.

The Nepean Knights were at home today against the Oakville Buzz and received an important lesson in effort. The Buzz managed to outwork the Knights for three straight periods, leading them in loose balls, hits, and turn over recoveries. It was a hard lesson to learn, and even harder to watch, but hopefully it has hit home. The Buzz took the game to the Knights from the opening face-off and never relented.

Craig Cowie: 2 G, 2 A

Andrew Marquis: 1 A


The Knights next game is in Akwesasne on Wednesday May 7^th at 8.

The Akwesasne Lightning came to town tonight with an improved team and a great effort but the Knights were up for the challenge. Nepean, playing a fast-break style that was very successful, particularly in the first and second periods, provided the crowd with an exciting game.

The Knights owe Andrew Marquis a huge debt of gratitude as his phenomenal play was responsible for keeping them in the game during the first and third periods. Nepean went on a good run in the second period and managed to chase the Akwesasne starting goalie after seven goals.

The captain, Chris Ford, put on several great displays of speed, defence, ball handling and play making. Devon Tough, Brett Lewandowsky and Jordan Joncas all had strong games as well.

Penalties became an issue in second and third as both teams struggled with man down situations. As the Knights found their scoring touch again later in the third period, they netted a few more late goals to cement the victory, 13 - 5.

Scoring for Nepean was:

Chris Ford: 1 G, 3 A
Nevan Sullivan: 1 G, 3 A
Jordan Joncas: 2 G. 1 A
Devon Tough: 2 G, 1 A
Andrew Marquis: 3 A
Brett Lewandowsky: 2 G
Sean Vradenburg: 1 G, 1 A
Jordan Weekmark: 1 G, 1 A

The Knights next game is Sunday May 4th at 2 pm at Merivale Arena vs. Oakville.

The Knights took on their cross-town rivals once again today and finished up the home and home series with another win. Nepean started out the scoring on the night with a power-play goal by Jordan Joncas. The team looked tentative at times in the early going and struggled to compete for loose balls. Even with this hesitation, Lewandowsky, Bush and Chris Ford all tallied single goals in the first period. The Knights continued to hang on in the low scoring second period but strong goaltending by Andrew Marquis allowed the Knights to work through this mental block. A strong six goal finish, led by Jordan Weedmark allowed Nepean to finish the evening ahead on the score sheet.

Scoring for Nepean was:

Jordan Weekmark: 3 G, 3 A
Brett Lewandowsky: 3 G, 3 A
Nevan Sullivan: 2 G, 2 A
Andrew Marquis: 3 A
Kyle Drisdelle: 1 G, 3 A
Jordan Joncas: 1 G. 2 A
