The Smiths Falls Bears had a tough game on Friday, Sept. 8 in the Bears Den against the Pembroke Lumber Kings for the 2017-18 home opener but they still pulled out a win.
The game started off rough when Pembroke got a goal within the first 10 seconds in the first period. But after equal parts strategy and determination — and with some motivation from the crowd — the Bears pulled off a 5-4 victory.
The Smiths Falls Bears play against Rockland Nationals on Friday, Sept. 15 7:30 p.m.
