Another hard fought season has come to an end for the Fort Erie Meteors.
The local Jr. B squad lost to the St. Catharines Falcons on Saturday, ending the best-of-seven Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League eastern conference finals.
St. Catharines won on Friday, which meant the Meteors needed to win on Saturday to force game seven.
The game was tied 1-1 after two periods but St. Catharines netted three in the third period to win 4-1.
Friday’s loss also ended with the same final score in favour of the Falcons.
