Foxboro, MA- Gunnar Fontaine and Sam Colangelo each scored a pair of goals to lead the Little Bruins to a 6-2 victory over the South Shore Kings and punch their ticket to next weekend’s Massachusetts State 18U Tournament.

Fontaine gave the Bruins the lead when he took a cross-ice pass from Braden Doyle and sent it back-door into the net with 10:44 to go in the opening period.

Mike Kennedy stretched the lead to four with 7:12 on the clock with a power play goal from John Copeland and Hunter Brackett.

South Shore got one back with 3:46 to go when Alex Brinkley picked the pocket of a Bruin and scored after deking out the goalie, but Colangelo iced the game with an empty net goal from Blake Coleman with 1:20 to play.
