Lambton Jr. Sting Major Midgets Edged Out Waterloo
tuesday october 28, 2014
The Lambton Jr. Sting Major Midgets and Waterloo Wolves were tied 3-3
heading into the last minute of
play until Jarret Marks scored
on a power play with :32 seconds
remaining on the clock to give
the Jr. Sting their 9th Alliance
win of the season.
“I thought we played pretty well .” Head Coach Jonathan Taylor said.
“That put us at 13 – 2 – 3 for
the season.” Those figures
include tournament results. In
League standings the team is now
9 - 1 - 0.
The two teams struggled in the first two periods due to an arena window
malfunction the game was moved
over to the second rink to
finish the first period and then
played a full second.
In the third the action resumed
on the main rink and Dawson Cook
scored at 1:59 to give the Jr.
Sting the early lead. Waterloo
answered back a minute later to
tie things up then took the lead
at 5:23. Jackson Keller and
Will Shaver scored for the
Wolves. Then at 7:47 Marco Mini
scored a power play to tie the
game for the second time and
Marks finished it off.
“Our goal tending was solid today.” Taylor said "I thought Shane
(Battler) had a really good game
and help us out with a couple of
key saves in the second period.”
Battler is now 5 – 0 for the season.
The Major Midgets will be put to the test next weekend as they have three
games schedule starting on
Friday night and finishing up on
Sunday.
Friday’s game is against the London Jr. Knights (11-1-0) that will be
played in Mooretown due to the
U17 World Hockey Challenge being
played on their home ice.
"Friday's game
will be a real test for us." Taylor said "I think we played a couple of
easy teams now so we’ll see if
we can step up our game to play
against London."
On Saturday the team will head to Brantford (1-10-1) , then on to
Kitchener (4-4-0) on Sunday.
