 The
Lambton Shores Predators Peewee B team didn't have a
great start to their Silver Stick tournament, as the
team from Forest was downed by the Michigan
Icebreakers 5-1.
In the
first period Michigan would score first as Lauren
Larson put a shot passed the Predators goalie to
give the Icebreakers a 1-0 lead. That lead would go
to 2-0 before the period was out as Emma Warnecke
beat the Predators defence to the puck, circled the
net and put in a wrap-around goal to give the
Icebreakers the two goal lead heading into the
second period, as Lambton Shores was not able to
create much offence in the first and let the puck
stay in their zone for most of the period.
In the
second period the Predators would catch a break on
the powerplay as the puck was thrown towards
the net and was redirected for the goal. Vanessa
Soetumans was credited with the goal and Hailey
Bayne-Foster with the assist, as the Predators cut
the lead to one. Michigan would put the pressure on
the Predators at the end of the period but they were
not able to get anything passed Morgan Mackenzie who
stayed strong in net.
In the
third period the Icebreakers would get on the
powerplay and it would cost the Predators as Ashley
Awdish found the puck in the slot and wristed in
passed Mackenzie to make it 3-1. Michigan would make
it 4-1 when Emma
Warnecke came down on a 2 on 1 and passed to an open
Sophia Colvin who would score glove side. The
Icebreakers would add one more goal as Mackenzie
couldn't have a shot and the rebound was put in by
Awdish for her second of the game.
Despite
the loss, Morgan Mackenzie played a stellar game,
stopping 5 breakaway chances by the Icebreakers with
big pad saves, as well as smothering the puck in
close, keeping the Predators in the game during key
moments.
The
Predators next play on Saturday as they take on
Heartlad at 11:40a.m. at Point Edward Arena and then
take on Mt. Clemens at Sarnia Arena at 6:20.
