HAMMOND PLAINS, NS, January 10, 2013 - The final four games of today have just finished at the East Coast Ice Jam tournament and featured a rare tie as the Saint John Vitos and the Dartmouth Major Midgets ended knotted 3-3. The Moncton Flyers edged the Valley Wildcats 5-4 and the Cole Harbour Wolf Pak pulled out a 4-3 win over Cornwall Thunder. The only blowout of the final four games was Cape Breton West Islanders shutting out the Western Kings 5-0.
