Cossette and Bansley combine for huge nights in Mintos’ win over Trojans

The long pandemic delay didn’t dampen the Prince Albert Minto—Tisdale Trojan rivalry one bit.

The Mintos defeated the Trojans 7-4 in a chippy, scrappy, penalty-filled affair preseason match up. Each team was assessed more than a period in penalty minutes, with 26 each.

Jacob Cossette led the way for the Mintos with a hat trick and an assist before he was helped to the dressing room midway through the third period. Cossette absorbed a high hit from Trojan Jack Bechard while heading off the ice for a change and did not return to the game.

Zach Bansley had the most points in the game, as his two-goal, five-point night help lift the Mintos. Travis Swanson and Matthew Cudmore also scored for the Mintos.
