Game four was held at the Milton Memorial Arena. The Blues scored first, with Carter Diceman being the first on the board. It was 1-0 after 20-minutes.
Mark McIntosh gave the Blues a 2-0 lead by the end of the second period. The Menace were going to need some third period magic to keep their season alive.
The Blues then scored first again in the third period, with Robert Strachan netting one on the powerplay. The Menace finally got on the board with almost four minutes to go in the game. Lucas Buzziol scored the goal for Milton, with Aidan Hughes getting the assist. Diceman then added the empty net dagger for Collingwood, ending the game at 4-1 Blues.
Will Goumas was in net for Milton. He had a busy night, stopping 40 of 43 shots. That gave him a .930% save percentage.
Collingwood is now waiting for the winner between Burlington and Georgetown. The Cougars are leading the Raiders 3-0 in the series. If they win on Thursday, March 30th they will advance to the OJHL North/West Conference Finals.
