A strong start in Ayr as the Navy Vets picked up a 6-1 win over the host Ayr Centennials on opening night of the Eli Palfreyman Memorial Tournament.
Jordan Jacobs opened the scoring midway through the first to give the Vets a 1-0 lead after 20.
Sebastien Fortin doubled the advantage 8:25 into the second, picking the short-side top corner with a great shot. Ayr answered late in the period to make it 2-1 heading into the third.
Then the Vets went to work.
Four different goal scorers found the back of the net in the third:
⚓ Kyle Arthur
⚓ Jaxon Bagshaw
⚓ Jaxon Boone
⚓ Evan Giannone
Bagshaw & Fortin had 2 assists each while Keaton Ferras also chipped in 2 assists.
Between the pipes, Landyn Quirk was excellent, turning aside 28 of 29 shots to backstop the win.
Arthur was selected Vets’ player of the game.
A good start to the weekend, but plenty of hockey still ahead.
