The Minor bantams were facing an uphill battle, trailing the 8 pt Playoff Championship six points to none against a very tough Hamilton Huskies squad. Lambton were at home Saturday to try and keep the dream alive and escaped by the skin of their teeth, pulling off a come back tie.

The Jr Sting were trailing the game 4-1 in the third period when they exploded for three goals to tie it 4-4 as OT solved nothing.

Hamilton reeled off 4 straight goals to take what looked like a commanding lead but Max Steeves made it 4-2 from Josh Barraclough and then Steeves with his second making it 4-3 from Royer and Barraclough. Jared Pageau scored with 4 minutes remaining to even things at 4 with an assist from Matt Hunt. The score remained deadlocked through the final minutes and OT making the series 7 pts to 1 for Hamilton.
Kyle Brinacombe played a very strong game in net for Lambton.

The Jr. Sting then travelled to Hamilton Sunday for a win or it's all over game.

Jared Pageau then scored what proved to be the game winner with Matt Hunt and Eric Cardinal assisting and a 3-1 lead going into the third stanza.
Hamilton narrowed the gap to 3-2 with seven minutes to play but could not get the equalizer and Lambton skated off with a 3-2 victory and making the series 7-3 pts.
