Congrats to the Barrie Colts!

ColtsTyson Fawcett scored the winner for the Barrie Colts as they dealt the Belleville Bulls a 3-1 loss Monday night in Game 7 of the Ontario Hockey League’s Eastern Conference final.

Aaron Ekblad and Ryan O’Connor had the other Colts goals.

The Bulls got out to a hot start and held Barrie without a shot for the opening 12 minutes of the game. Belleville held a 1-0 lead off Quine tipping home a point shot on the power play until the Colts answered back with a blast from Ekblad to tie things 1-1 after 20 minutes.

Fawcett picked up the winning goal on the power play for Barrie, deflecting a wrister from O’Connor. O’Connor added some insurance at the 14:10 mark of the third period with a blast from the point that eluded Malcolm Subban.

Subban finished the night with 25 saves, while Mathias Niederberger made 36 saves in the win.
 Both teams went 1 for 4 on the power play. Barrie will now face the London Knights in the OHL Championship for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
