Sarniasports.com December 2nd, 2010

On Tuesday November 30 the Sarnia Jr. Sting Minor Atom MD visited the North London Nationals in London and defeated the home team by a score of 3 - 2 in a game that was decided in the last second of play.

In a battle for first overall both teams looked to claim bragging rights and Sarnia opened the scoring at the 7 minute
mark. Zac Moore passed the puck from behind the net to Evan Trigatti who banged in a quick low shot. Ryan Eyre was
also awarded an assist on the play.

The second period would result in only one goal as Collin Zimmer added to the Visitor score board with an unassisted
tally. Zimmer used his line-mate as a decoy and ripped a high shot to give the Jr. Sting a 2-0 lead. Stevie Schaefer
started in net for the Jr. Sting and held the Nationals scoreless during his watch between the pipes. Cam Stevens came
in with 3 minutes left in the second and was immediately challenged as he was forced to make several scrambling saves.

In the third the Nationals would catch a break as Sarnia was called for too many men on the ice. North London scored
on the power play and tied the game up a minute later. The hard working line of Hayden Griffin, Ian Bailey and Zander
Campbell would be rewarded at the 5 minute mark of the third as a North London turnover resulted in a Hayden Griffin
goal.assist Bailey.

With the clock running down and the North London net empty the Nationals poured it on and a trickling puck crossed the
Sarnia goal line.one second after the final horn sounded to end the contest; Sarnia 3 - North London 2.

The Jr. Sting will host the Stratford Warriors at home this Friday December 3rd at the Clearwater Arena at 7:00
