On Sunday afternoon, the Corner Brook Royals came out on a mission.  After a rocky start on Saturday night, the Royals were firing on all cylinders and their persistence paid off.  After pinning the Caribous in their own end, the veteran Royal Mark Robinson scored at the 8:26 mark, tipping a Dave MacDonald shot past Caribous goalie Jason Churchill.  Late in the first period, Royals Ryan Penney scored at the 19:12 mark to give the Royals a 2-0 lead after the first period.

The second period saw no scoring.  However, the Caribous Jason Churchill suffered an apparent injury and struggled through the rest of the period, continuing to make big save after big save.  It was later confirmed after the game that Churchill had suffered a groin injury.

In the third period, the Royals sealed the victory when the Royals defenseman Justin Pender scored an empty net goal to make it 3-0.  The Caribous outshot the Royals 20 – 12 in the final period as they threw everything they could muster at Bryan Gillis.

The Corner Brook Royals Bryan Gillis picked up the shut-out victory, stopping all 45 shots he faced.  Jason Churchill, despite being injured, played his heart out, facing 52 shots.

The Clarenville Caribous put up a valiant effort despite missing Andrew Sweetland, Brandon Roache and Franklin MacDonald.
