Sarnia vs. Wallaceburg

It was a hot night at the Clearwater Arena. The Sarnia Tyke Pacers were ambitious for a win at their last home game of the season

Simon Doan was goal tending tonight, replacing goalie Sean Foster. Simon was a natural in net and made several fantastic saves. The team was very proud of Simon for not only stepping up to the plate while Sean was away, but also doing an amazing job in net! Well done Simon!

The first period would see Wallaceburg scoring two goals and Sarnia in the lead with scoring three goals. The Pacer’s first goal was scored by Carter Barron assisted by Corson Langs followed by Kyle Haas scoring the next two goals; one assisted by Kristian Spitzig and the other assisted by Parker McKegan. Haas was on his game tonight, playing excellent defence as well. Wallaceburg spent two minutes in the penalty box this period.

Wallaceburg came back with a fight in the second period scoring five goals, even though they would spend four minutes in the penalty box. Sarnia had several shots on net but only two successful goals; one for Kyle Haas, assisted by Kristian Spitzig and one for Carter Barron assisted by Corson Langs and Caelan Babenko. Sarnia would see two minutes in the penalty box.

The excitement was at an incredible high in the third period. The Pacers gave it their best and tried so hard for a win. It was busy at Wallaceburg’s net with a goal scored by Carter Barron, assisted by Kyle Haas then a goal scored by Kristian Spitzig. Barron, on fire tonight, would then score the next two goals, getting closer to a tie. And then, in the last effort for a tie, the Pacers pulled goal tender Simon Doan. The Pacers fought so hard for one last goal but unfortunately the time ran out and the final score of the game would be 10/9 for the Wallaceburg Griffins.

The Pacers are on the road this Sunday to Leamington for a make up game with Sun County.
