LANTZ: The TASA Ducks blew open a close game by scoring five times in the second period en route to a 6-3 win over the East Hants Penguins on Sunday afternoon Jan. 5.

The Central Minor Hockey League U-13 AAA league game was played at the Keith Miller Arena in the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz.

The Pens scored two early goals on one of the top teams in the league and kept them at bay for the most part until the second period.

That’s when penalty trouble—some of the calls being borderline by the game’s officials–caught up to the East Hants squad, which has a player on it from Waverley.
