LANTZ: Blake Irvine scored twice as the East Hants Bitars Ristorante Junior Penguins won their final home game of 2023 over their NSJHL rivals Brookfield Elks.
The NSJHL game was played on a night where the Pens collected food donations for the Caring & Sharing Angel Food Bank.
It took place at the Keith Miller Arena in the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz.
In total, the team, thanks to its fans, collected more than 12 bags of food for the food bank to help families in the East Hants community.

Devin Meagher and Noah Comeau had a goal and an assist to help the offence for the Pens.
In the first period, East Hants dominated in the shot department and came away with a 2-0 lead thanks to a last minute goal.
If not for the goaltending from Brookfield Elks goalie Pablo De Larrinaga the score would have easily been much higher.
