after taking a 7 - 4 win
over Cambridge in Alliance
AAA hockey league action.
"It was a pretty good game
from start to finish.
Assistant Coach Joel Workman

win so we laid it out on the
line tonight and we came out
on top."
After the first period both
sides were even with one

4 - 3 lead that included two
power play goals and in the

the final scored short

Williams and Conner Royer
also assisted on goals.
Lambton outshot Cambridge 33
- 26. Chaska Theil
earned the win in net making
22 saves. Bryson Lee
in for Cambridge made 26
saves.
"The boys worked hard this
weekend it was good to get
rewarded." Workman said
On Saturday the Jr. Sting
were in Hamilton and lost 6
- 2 to the Huskies.
Despite the loss Workman
felt the team put in a good
effort.
"It was 4 - 1 going into the
third period so it slip away
from us in the third.
Hamilton is undefeated in
regular league and they are
a very strong team but we
actually played really well
and Chaska played really
well yesterday and today."
The Jr Sting are now 2 - 9 -
1 for the season. Next
week the team has a three
game weekend starting on
Friday on the road against
Huron Perth. Then two
back to back home games
hosting London on Saturday
at 7:00 pm and Sun County on
Sunday at 2:00 pm.
"We have been working hard
improving. Were
thirteen games into the
season and they are really
starting to understand the
systems and understand the
plays we want them to make
and staying out of the
penalty box that's helping
us out a lot."
