Game 1:

Sarnia vs Brantford 99'ers

The Sarnia Jr. Sting Major Midgets took on the Brantford 99'ers Friday night in a high scoring affair. Brantford scored first, but the Sting bounced back on a unassisted goal from the Sting captain Graeme Wattie. The 99'ers managed to score another goal to go up 2-1 to close out the first period. In the second, the Sting let down a little as Brantford found the twine twice more. Sarnia turned up the pressure following that, and notched one of their own from Viktor Kovacs assisted by David Sparks.  At the close of the second, the 99'ers held the lead at 4-2. The boys seem to find their groove and played a much tighter third period. Brantford got another goal, to go up by a score of 5-2, but Sarnia came on strong and scored 3 goals in the third, Derek D'Andrea from Ryan Jennings on the powerplay and D'Andrea again from Jordan McBeath, At the 8:22 mark of the third Sarnia was handed another powerplay and wasted no time finding the twine as Viktor Kovacs blasted a shot to the back of the net assisted by Taylor Smith. As the clock wore down both sides had chances but as the final buzzer sounded Sarnia earned the 5-5 tie. Zac Lippiatt played a fine game between the pipes for the Sting.
 

Sunday night the boys were off to London to play the high scoring West London Hawks. The Sting got the only goal of the first period on a nice tip in from Chris Taylor helped out by Taylor Smith. The second period saw the Hawks get two goals of their own, but Sarnia bounced back to tie it up 2-2 on a beautiful goal from Derek D'Andrea with some nice passing from Graeme Wattie and David Sparks, and at the end of two it was all even. The third period saw the rubber find the back of the nets on both sides. West London scored two more goals but the Sting would answer back with two of their own. Scoring for the Sting was Viktor Kovacs, and Chris Taylor (who had a 3 point night) helpers going to Wattie, D'Andrea and Taylor. As the final bell rang the Sting skated away with their second tie of the weekend. Ben Johnson played a strong game between the pipes coming up with some crucial saves to secure the tie.
