Sarnia vs London Bandits:
This game was important as the Bandits were coming
off a loss from last weekend, compliments of the
Sting, and needed to pull off a win to stay close to
the Sting in the standings. The first period saw
both sides play a cautious game as no goals were
recorded in the first. The Bandits were able to draw
first blood though, but Sarnia tied it up off the
stick of Alex MacEachern helped out by Jeff
Noppen and Ryan Jennings. With continued
pressure London managed to get a second goal on the
powerplay with a minute left in the second period to
go up 2-1. The Bandits remained on top until 6:18 of
the third period when Sarnia tied it up on a nice
goal from Justin Stymest assisted by Viktor
Kovacs.
Ben Johnson played well in net and made key
saves late in the game to secure the 2-2 tie.

The Sting traveled to Woodstock to play the high scoring
Navy Vets and this game saw fireworks right from the
opening faceoff. Both sides skated hard throughout the
first period producing no scoring. Woodstock managed to
notch the only goal of the second and at the start of
the third it was 1-0 for the Vets. Third period action
saw Woodstock go up by two only to have the Sting pull
within one on a nice goal from
