COXHEATH, N.S. — The Sydney Academy Wildcats had two clutch performances on Friday night en route to a 2-1 overtime victory over the Riverview Ravens.

 

In Cape Breton High School Hockey League action on Friday in Coxheath, Brody Campbell stole the show in net for the 3-5-0 (win-loss-overtime/shootout loss) Wildcats. Sydney Academy was outshot 38-12, but Campbell turned aside all chances but one.
