McCoy heroic to lift Huskies to Game 2 OT victory

By Brock Ormond Apr 21, 2026 | 11:21 PM

A little bit of overtime magic was in store on Tuesday night for the Frankford Huskies.

Belleville native Rheydan McCoy sunk the game-winner just 39 seconds into the bonus frame to win Game 2 of the PJHL Schmaltz Cup Semifinals 4-3 over the Fergus Whalers and even the best-of-seven series at a game apiece.

Playing at the home of their OJHL affiliates the Trenton Golden Hawks, Frankford got the partisan Quinte West crowd fired up first for the second straight game by scoring first late in the opening period through Spencer Stanutz and his 10th of the postseason on a powerplay from Blake Ellis and Ty McCambridge.

Fergus answered with a pair of goals in the second before the Huskies offence came back to life in the third, with Keegan Juchau burying his team-leading 15th of the playoffs about a minute into the frame.

The Huskies didn’t waver when Fergus wrestled the lead back, pouncing with less than three minutes to play in the third on a goal by affiliated player Ryan Foley to set the stage for McCoy’s heroics.

The winner was McCoy’s third of the postseason

Stanutz assisted on the tying and winning markers for a three-point night, with McCambridge adding a pair of assists and Juchau, Liam Storms and Riley Grimmon adding single helpers.

Much like he has all playoff run, Liam Boyer was solid with some timely saves, making 25 in total for the victory.

The win ensures Frankford will get at least one more trip to Fergus on the weekend, but first, the Huskies will try to steal back home ice advantage with a Game 3 win on Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
