The Sarnia Major Atom Sting were once again involved in 2 games this past weekend, picking up a tie and a loss. 

On Saturday, the Sting were involved in a game with the Oakridge Aeros in which they carried the lead for most of the game, but the Aeros scored a late 3^rd period goal and the game ended in a 6 – 6 tie.  Scoring for the Sting in this game was Devin Devooght with 2 goals, Matthew Torti, Jake Vince, Jack Smith and Justin Houle all adding singles.  Austin Coutts, Curtis Marks, Mackenzie Caley and Jordan Hurtubise all chipped in with assists.

The Sting were back on the ice on Sunday to square off with the Hamilton Reps.  The Sting came out strong in this game, taking a 1^st period lead on a goal by Devin Devooght (assist Jack Smith).  After Hamilton scored to tie the game, Jack Smith scored on the power play (assist Devin Devooght, Jake Vince) to restore the Sarnia lead.  In the 2^nd period Hamilton started to pressure the Sarnia zone and were rewarded with a goal to tie the game at 2 going into the 3^rd period.  In the 3^rd period, both teams played determined to win, but it was Hamilton who would score with 4 minutes remaining and the Sting were unable to answer.  Final score, Hamilton 3, Sarnia 2.
