Sackville took the division lead Monday with a 7-5 win over the East Hants Penguins (11-15-3-0).

Jordan Lauther, Drew McNutt, James Shapleigh, Travis Nevin, Geoff Burke and Liam Carr all scored for Brookfield while Spencer Scott recorded his 17th win of the season.

Former Truro Bearcats forward Jordan Cox scored for Eastern Shore with the other coming from Tim Mannette. Joe Hines suffered the loss.
