18th Annual Forest City Hockey Tournament
The Sarnia Sting Atom MD's
competed in the 18th Annual Forest City Hockey
Tournament on the weekend and finished with a
disappointing 0 - 2 - 1 record, despite playing some
pretty good hockey. Scoring, or lack of it was the
demise for the Sarnia boys.
The Sting opened the tourney
against Erindale and came up on the wrong end of a 1 - 0
game. Erindale scored their only goal on a powerplay in
the 2nd period. Sarnia pressured the Toronto team until
the end but couldn't find the equalizer. Hunter Taylor
played well in the Sting net.
Next up for Sarnia was Port
Credit Friday afternoon. Port Credit jumped out to a 1 -
0 lead just 10 seconds into the game. They made it 2 - 0
on a powerplay in the 2nd period, while the Sting hit 2
goalposts ( unfortunately they don't count ). Port
Credit made it 3 - 0 early in the 3rd period before
Dustin Dennett scored on a pass from Dylan Schroeter to
bring the score to 3 - 1 - where it stayed. Sarnia had
some bad bounces in this game, and at times controlled
the play, but just couldn't find the back of the net
with the many chances they had.
Saturday morning, still with
a chance to advance with a big win, the Sting faced
Stoney Creek.The 1st period was scoreless, and Sarnia
took it to Stoney Creek controlling the 2nd period, and
not even allowing a shot on net, but it ended scoreless
as well. The Sting finally jumped on the scoreboard
early in the 3rd period when Brennan Healy fired a shot
home on a pass from Julian D'Agostini. The lead was
short lived as Stoney Creek scored on a powerplay
shortly after. Sarnia applied pressure late , but
couldn't score, and the game ended 1 -1.
Next action for Sarnia is Thursday against West London
at Germain Arena.
