Henry Johnson was superb between the pipes for the Brockville Braves, as he did not allow a goal in a 6-0 victory over the Kanata Lasers.  With the shutout, Johnson hit 9 for the season, making him the new single season shutout record holder for the CCHL.  Tyler Chestnut previously held the record of 8 which he earned during the 2005-06 season while a member of the Pembroke Lumber Kings.
