Arrow players have strong praise for their loyal fans (Continued From Page 11) Continuing to be pumped by their die hard fans the Arrows looked to be in the driver's seat as they took the series lead by an 8-5 score which was answered the next game by a resilient Coquitlam squad who evened up the series 2-2 courtesy of a hard fought 5­-4 nail biter. Naturally each game brought on that much more significance and the Arrows managed to avoid any potential of a Game 7 by pulling off consecutive 8-2 and of course the 9-4 win which earned them the right to once again triumph ally hoist the Minto Cup while celebrating with excited fans and family alike who poured on afterwards to the ILA floor. Coming up clutch with a five point performance in that Minto Cup clinching game was both Austin Staats who finished with eight goals and 19 points in the six Minto Cup games along with Jordan Durston who scored two goals including the series last one while also getting some strong praise from Arrows coat Pat Merrill. "It's an unreal feeling," Durston who was part of last year's Minto Cup team said. "With about 10 minutes left I kept on looking up at the clock every 30 seconds or so. "It's just unreal to win it in front of your family and friends." Seizing some early momentum Six Nations got first period goals from Staats, Brendan Bomberry, Durston and Josh Johnson as they took a 4-1 lead into the second and never looked back. "They are both very special. I don't want to compare," Arrows Josh Johnson said when reflecting on the two straight Minto Cup wins. "Just feels great to win it in front of our fans and the community." Six Nations who continued to get stellar goaltending from Jamieson increased their lead with two second period goals from Staats and Ryan Fournier before wrapping up the offence in the third with Ryan Lee scoring twice before Durston scored that final goal in front of an ILA crowd ready to explode with anticipation and celebrate with their beloved heroes the consecutive Minto Cup champions Six Nations Arrows.
