Walter Conrad (May, Grant) then followed with another tally and May rounded out the first period scoring with yet another power play goal. Conrad was credited with assist.
In the second period, a collision between Noah Grondin and Gorham netminder Brogan McDonald brought in Noah Bird who made a number of spectactular saves. Due to Bird’s outstanding play, Yarmouth could not convert any scoring chances in the second period.

Grondin continued to battle and made his presence felt throughout the game, which culminated in a third period power play goal to give the Clippers the 4-0 victory. Conrad and May were credited with the assists.
Dan Latham turned away 27 shots and played his usual strong game for his second shutout of the year. Graden Caulfield saw increased time on defense and played a solid physical game. As usual, the YC Ultras took over the rink and showed that Yarmouth has the best fan base in the State.
