Lambton at Huron Perth Lakers
The Jr Sting Minor Peewees traveled
to Goderich to battle the Lakers
from Huron Perth on Sunday night and
were looking to win their second of
the weekend.
The Jr. Sting controlled the play
and had many opportunities to score
but couldn’t find the back of the
net. As a result period one ended at
0-0. The Jr. Sting again held the
balance of play in the second and
were finally able to solve the Laker
goalie with Max Steeves scoring on a
nice wrister after receiving a
beautiful pass from Jared Pageau to
set Steeves in alone on the goalie.
Lambton was not able to expand the
lead and the second ended 1-0. The
in-ability to bury the puck came
back to haunt Lambton as Huron Perth
tied it up mid-way through the third
and then scored again late in the
game on a rebound to go up 2-1 after
Ethan Williams had a made a great
save on the first shot. Lambton
pulled their goalie and had a couple
of good chances to tie it up but HPL
managed to clear the zone and then
scored into an empty net to make the
final 3-1.
Max Steeves had the lone goal. Jared
Pageau and Ben Schoch had one assist
each
Ethan Williams played a great game
in net and deserved a better
outcome.
Lambton vs London Jr Knights
Lambton was looking to get back in
the win column on Monday night at
the RBC Center and up against a
divisional rival in the London Jr.
Knights.

heels for most of the first period

the second and gradually started to
apply some pressure and create some
scoring opportunities.
Max Steeves jumped on a loose puck
and buried a wrister on the power
play mid-way through the second to
give the Jr. Sting some life. The
second period ended and it looked as
though the momentum had shifted in
favour of the Jr. Sting. Both teams
traded chances in the third period
with London forcing Ethan Hunt to
make a number of goods saves in the
Lambton net.

power play opportunity and scored to
up the lead to 3-1, pouncing on a
loose puck. The Jr. Sting attempted
to come back but were not able to
generate enough chances and went
down to defeat 3-1.

net and gave the Minor Peewees a
chance to win. |
