SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs remain on top in the Major Series Sr. A after last weeks games but suffered their second loss of the season along the way
Thursday night the Mann Cup Champions fell short of OT by one goal after mounting a huge third period assault where they scored nine goals to get back into a game many had already put in the Peterborough bag. But the Lakers scored four, just enough to preserve the 14-13 win.

Ryan Benesch, with three goals and four assists, and Jeff Shattler’s three and assisted on three also contributed, but it was too little – too late for the Chiefs as Adam Jones scored what would stand as the game winner for the Lakers. Dillon Ward was in net for the Chiefs.
Last Tuesday night, Smith, Benesch led the Chiefs again, with three goals and five assists and four goals and two assists respectively in the Chiefs’ 17-8 win over the Brooklin Redmen at the ILA. Johnny Powless added a goal and four assists.
