YELLOWKNIFE -- Alan OLeary and his rink from Nova Scotia earned their province its first mens Canadian senior curling championship on Saturday by downing Manitobas Kelly Robertson 9-8. OLeary, who skipped Nova Scotia in the 1993 and 1994 Briers, trailed 8-7 heading into the final end, but stole two in the 10th to claim victory. Robertson trailed OLeary by two after the first end and 6-4 after six ends before responding with a three spot in the seventh to go ahead 7-6, Manitobas first lead of the match. OLeary, along with teammates Andrew Dauphinee, Danny Christianson and Harold McCarthy of the Halifax Mayflower Curling Club finished round-robin play tied with Manitoba at 9-2, but were awarded a bye into the final because of a 9-7 win over Robertson in an earlier draw. On the womens side, Lois Fowler and Manitoba toppled Lorraine Arguin and her rink from Saskatchewan 5-1 in the final to be crowned womens senior curling champions. Scoreless through three ends, Fowler opened up a 1-0 edge in the fourth and it remained that way until the seventh, when Arguin responded with one of her own. Fowler and her team of Maureen Bonar, Cathy Gauthier and Allyson Stewart from the Brandon Curling Club took three in the eighth and added one more in the ninth. Fowler finished third at the Canadian seniors in 2009 and 2013, but had never won. In 1993 she was runner-up to Sandra Schmirler in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Archie Clark Jersey .

JOHNS, N.L. -- The St. Johns IceCaps set a franchise record with seven straight wins Friday night, beating the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 3-2 in American Hockey League action. IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge was happy with the result, but said the team isnt spending time thinking about records. "I wouldnt say were separating our shoulders patting ourselves on the back," McCambridge said. "Were happy we were able to get the win. "I like the fact that we put a lot of shots on the net and we had traffic. We were able to get a goal and build off thata And, we will take the seven (wins)." IceCaps defenceman Julian Melchiori scored his first goal of the season in the win. "I think its awesome," he said. "The team is rolling right now. Its all working for us. Hopefully we can keep rolling tomorrow and move up in the standings. Its good to contribute whenever you can and I was happy (to score)." The 22-year-old is in his second season with the IceCaps, and McCambridge said Melchiori is getting up to stride. "The season has been interesting for him," McCambridge said. "He had a strong year last year and then came back this season and any time he was able to start getting his feet underneath him and be playing strong, an injury would sset him back.dddddddddddd I really feel were starting to see him take strides to be a strong, potential NHL defenceman." Jerome Samson and Blair Riley also scored for St. Johns (35-19-4). Johan Sundstrom and Chris Langkow replied for the Sound Tigers (26-27-5). Samson opened the scoring for the IceCaps, scoring a power-play goal on a low wrister through traffic from the faceoff dot with 3:41 left in the first period. Melchiori doubled the lead, wiring home a crisp wrist shot from the point at the 14:25 mark of the second period. Kyle MacKinnon fanned on a shot and chased it to the net, tapping it in during the ensuing scramble to put St. Johns up 3-0, 1:13 into the third period. Sundstrom scored for Bridgeport, burying a wrist shot from the point which fooled IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinson blocker side at the 3:08 mark of the third period. Langkow whacked in a loose puck on the doorstep to put the Sound Tigers within one with 2:10 left in the game. IceCaps forward Carl Klingberg left the game with just over a minute left after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Aaron Ness, who was served a five-minute kneeing penalty and a game misconduct. Klingberg will be further evaluated tomorrow. Bridgeport goalie Kevin Poulin made 36 saves. Hutchinson stopped 22 for the IceCaps. ' ' '
