Culver vs. St. Anthony’s Standout

The Ottawa (Ont.) native had one of the best goals of the day when he came down the alley, shot, caught his own rebound and hit a BTB shot in one motion. It looked entirely too easy, and it gave the Eagles a shot in the arm and a 3-2 lead after Friars goalie Dylan Rappaport had made a bunch of impressive saves to that point.

“Just trying to get the ball in the net,” Lamoureux sheepishly said. “I try to pride myself on getting those rebounds. Our whole team wants to make those gritty plays and I was just happy to put it away. We came in wanting to shoot the scout and (Rappaport) had a couple of great saves, so credit to him for that. I think we did a good job later on in the game putting the ball in the back of the net.”

Lamoureux finished with a hat trick with a couple more impressive goals, including when he inverted a D-middie and created just enough separation to snap a shot around the defender and into the net. His final tally iced the game for the Eagles when he got top side and hit a nasty high-to-high righty jumper. Lamoureux also showed some good awareness and passing ability in the two-man game, highlighted by a nifty play to set up a goal from ’27 Air Force commit Nate Zander.
