The Midget Rep team won their first playoff game in overtime against the Meteors in Mitchell a week ago Sunday night. It would be Mitchell who started the scoring off but it wasn't long after that Goderich player Tyler Durst tied it up with an awesome end to end shorthanded goal. With 40 seconds left in the first period Tyler Million would get his own shorthanded goal with the help of Brandon Gibson giving Goderich the go ahead goal.
Going into the second period William Kelly was able to capitalized on the power play assisted by Josh Martel and the period ended with Goderich up by two. Mitchell were determined not to lose at home and came back in the third period with two quick goals tying the game 3-3 putting the game into overtime. Within the first minute of overtime Goderich was able to put it away when Martel scored a rebound shot assisted by Shawn McColl and Andrew Hogan-Cann.
