Sarnia, ON
– The Lambton Sting Major Atoms (AAA) had a
rough weekend as they dropped a pair of games in
league play. On Saturday the Sting travelled to
Zurich where they fell 8-5 to the Huron Perth Lakers
while on Sunday they dropped a 6-4 decision at home
to the Sun County Panthers.
The Sting started slowly on Saturday allowing the
host Lakers to score a pair of powerplay goals and
take a 3-0 lead before the period was half over. The
Sting would get a powerplay goal of their own late
in the period to cut the deficit to 2 goals but
Huron Perth would score 3 more times early in the
second period to take full control of the game.
Josh
McLean and Dylan Riddell would each score twice for
the Sting with Carson Perry getting the other goal.
Nolan DeGurse had 3 helpers with assists also going
to Jaycob White and Hunter Monkhouse.
Sunday was
a completely different story, at least to start the
game, as the Sting came out flying and took the play
to Sun County in the first period. Spencer
Vandenboom and Ryleigh Vanderwal each scored to give
the Sting a 2-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes
old but Sun County scored late in the first period
to make it 2-1.
The game
turned when Sun County struck for 3 goals in just
over a minute midway thru the second period. That
took all momentum away from the home side and the
boys stopped skating.
The final
score was 6-4 with Cameron Ware getting the other 2
Lambton goals. Brock Barber had 2 assists with Ryan
Barwitzki, Vandenboom, DeGurse and Perry earning 1
each.
Next
weekend the Sting will try and get back on track
with a strong showing in the London Earlybird
Tournament.
