On Friday night the Lambton Jr Sting hosted the London Jr
Knights at the RBC Center.
London came
straight out on the attack with shots to Lambton's net in the first
few seconds. The Jr Sting fought back clearing the puck and
played hard despite the Jr Sting picking up two penalties as London
was unable to score on the Lambton net. With a total of 24
saves in the first period by goaltender Luc Thorne-Smith they enter
the second with a score of 0-0.
The second
period was much like the first with some great defensive play by
Lambton and aggressive play by the forwards. Despite the hard
work London scored the first goal and lone goal in the second period
to head into the third period trailing 1 - 0.
The Jr Sting
were unable to maintain their momentum as London went on and scored
4 more goals to end the game with a final score of 5 - 0.
Despite the loss
Thorne-Smith played outstanding turning away 45 shots.
