Kment then concluded his week by turning aside all but one of the 24 attempts he faced aiding the T-Birds in their 7-1 win over the defending NOJHL champion Kirkland Lake Gold Miners Sunday afternoon at John Rhodes Community Centre.
In all he allowed only four goals against in 180 minutes work registering a 1.33 average to go along with a .952 save percentage.

One night later Locke scored for a third straight game to aid in the Eskimos’ 4-3 triumph over the Powassan Voodoos at Jus Jordan Arena.
On an impressive tear of late Locke has amassed 10 points in his last three outings, including notching seven tallies.
DUSTIN CORDEIRO, (F) COCHRANE CRUNCH – Chipping in with some timely goals, Cordeiro’s efforts on the ice have helped Cochrane come away victorious in four consecutive contests as well as six of their past seven.
Last week saw the 19-year-old from Kitchener post two-goal nights in back-to-back affairs as the Crunch skated to wins over Powassan Friday and Mattawa Saturday.
It marked the third straight game Cordeiro has tallied twice for his squad.
On the season he is currently tied with teammate Cody Gratton for the most goals in the league with 12.
