end of the same power play assisted by Alec Trusler
and Josh Vale to give the Sting a 2 goal lead. The
Sting would continue to press the play but would be
unable to extend their lead. Whitby would score a
goal in the 3rd period to make the game close, but
the Sting would play a solid defensive game the rest
of the way to protect the lead and win by a final
score of 2 – 1.
In the
afternoon, the Sting would be matched up with a
familiar opponent from their league division, the
Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs. The Sting would jump out to
a 3 – 0 lead in this game with goals from Lucas
