PETERBOROUGH, Ont. – A late push and wild scramble in front of the Brock Badgers net in the dying seconds wasn't enough as the Bishop's Gaiters pressed to tie their 2022 Baggataway Cup quarterfinal on Friday night in Peterborough, Ont. The Badgers held on and eliminated Bishop's from the championship tournament for the second consecutive year, this time by a final of 8-7.
