It was a nice trip, but the results were mixed.
For sure, the road trip to Campbellton, then Miramichi, is taxing, and the competition is normally tough.
In Campbellton, Friday, the Bearcats got accustomed to the Olympic-sized ice surface quickly and got on the scoreboard early.
The Tiger response was quick, as well, and from that point on things were pretty even, forcing OT.

In both games, the Bearcats were ready to play at the drop of the puck. Both games were competitive and even in most departments. Both games were entertaining.
This week the Bearcats are preparing for three games stretched over four days, with plenty of travel thrown in.
It starts with the trip to Summerside on Thursday, a game at the RECC against Amherst on Saturday, then on the road to Berwick to meet the Valley Wildcats on Sunday.
The Bearcats defeated the Capitals in OT early in the month. Summerside, currently tied with Yarmouth for top spot in the Eastlink South Division, wants to even the score on that one.
In the only meeting with Amherst this season, the Bearcats came up short in the scoring department. The Bearcat mission is clear.
The Wildcats picked up their first win of the season last week, an OT road win in New Glasgow. They’re looking to claw their way out of the Divisional basement.
The Divisional Standings are close one-through-four and are subject to change weekly – stay tuned.
