Sarnia, ON -
Jarred Marks had two goals and an assist for the
Lambton Jr. Sting, as the Minor Bantam AAA team won
4-1 over the Cambridge Jr. Hawks Saturday afternoon
at the RBC Centre.
We were
slow out of the gates, we didn't have a very good
first period," said coach Jeff Perry. "But we stayed
with it, I thought we had a good second period, and
after an early goal in the third period they bounced
back extremely well."
Lambton
had four call ups in the line up, which Perry says
played extremely well despite not spending a lot of
time with the minor Bantam's.
Marks got
his first goal in the second period to give the
Sting a 1-0 lead. The Hawks would respond early in
the third period on the powerplay, with Noah Fisher
picking up the goal.
Marks
would add his second goal on the powerplay, and Alec
Dekoning would add the empty net goal to make it a
4-1 victory.
Lambton
controlled most of the third period leading to their
victory. The Sting have not been overly strong in
the third period, which has cost them some games in
the past.
"We have
lost a couple of games in the last minute," said
Perry. "Jarred Pageau blocked a shot which lead to
an offensive goal. It's good for our kids to see
when they clean up our end of the rink, they will
generate offence at the other."
Perry
notes the minor bantams are notorious for their
defensive play, but there is still a lot of work to
be done with the team in the early weeks of the
season.
"It's
still a work in progress," said Perry.
"systematically there is still a lot of work to be
done, but hopefully this was a step in the right
direction."
