Video: Canon-Mac and Butler battle in Class AAA hockey playoffs first round

We hope you’ve enjoyed the typical  morning posts for boys’ basketball Tuesday… because now it’s time for some action from the hockey playoffs first round.

The final score was 3-0, but the game was actually closer. Both sides played well. The goaltending was stingy and excellent.

You’ve probably seen in the box scores that it was Canon-McMillan’s Austin Tonkovich, James Oddi, and Colman Slain who scored. However – check the video for action from the Butler side as well. Golden Tornado goaltender Logan Rothbauer made 45 saves. Troy Double had a great breakaway, but the goal became dislodged as he went for it.

Also – it does say in today’s Post-Gazette’s hockey roundup that Canon-Mac’s goaltender Ryan Christian made 20 saves. We got a good Canon-Mac save on the video as well.

The first round of the playoffs concludes tonight; second round will commence on Wednesday.
