The Fort Frances Muskies earned their first first win at the OFSSA boy's hockey championship in North Bay Thursday afternoon with a 5-4 decision over Central Algoma of Desbarets.
The Muskies held period leads of 2-1 and 5-1. Matt Depiero's goal with 19 seconds remaining in the second would prove to be the winner. Central Algoma scored three times by the middle of the third to draw close. Taylor Jorgenson, Ryan Shortreed, Kyle Kerr and Jamie Kaun also scored for the Muskies.
It was the Muskies second game of the day. In a morning game, the Muskies dropped a 3-1 decision to St. Marcellinus of Mississauga which officially knocked them out of playoff contention. Taylor Jorgenson broke a scoreless tie with 31 seconds remaining in the second period, but the 5th ranked Mississauga squad roared back with three unanswered goals in the final frame for the win.
The 1-and-2 Muskies will wrap up play Friday morning at 9:15 am CST against Senator O'Connor.
