On Friday night, the Braves opened the season unveiling their 2017-2018 Doherty Division Championship Banner and capped off the night with a 5-2 victory over Ayr.

Last year’s Captain Jared Yantzi, who spent all 5 seasons of his Junior career in Tavistock, along with newly appointed Captain Jake Wiffen were presented with the Championship banner.

Things continued to go well for Tavistock as they skated to a 5-2 win over Ayr, outshooting their opponents 57-16. Leading the way for the Braves was Zac Berg with 2 goals. Jake Wiffen, Tanner Johnson and Tate Hilliard all added 1 goal each, Hilliard scoring his first career Junior goal. Assists went to Cole Corriveau (3), Josh Schindler (3), Brody Oliver, Josh Borys, Bradley Smith and Drew Gerth. Jensen Van Boekel picked up the win in net.

The Braves are at home twice this weekend as they host the Wellesley Applejacks September 21st and the Norwich Merchants September 22nd. Both games are 7:30PM puck drops.
