Point Edward Hawks Come Away With Two Wins in Double Header

In the first of a couple of league double headers the Hawks have to play this season, the Point Edward Atoms pulled out four points for the win column as they beat Mt Brydges Blue 4-2 in the morning and then came home to win against the Strathroy Red team 8-4.

Mt Brydges Cougars Blue

This was the second meeting of these two teams so they both knew what to expect. Both teams came out digging for the puck and wanting to get on the board first. Reinders played excellent between the pipes to keep the Hawks in a 0-0 game. With one minute left in the period, the Cougars took advantage of a weak defensive play by yhe Point to take a 1-0 lead, but the Hawks quickly retaliated when Nathan Edlington scored just before the period ended to make it a 1-1 game going into the second.

The second saw some great end-to-end action with both teams skating hard. Both teams had scoring opportunities early in the period but couldn’t get a goal against some awesome goaltending. At the four minute mark of the period, Jett Terpstra made a zone clearing pass to Matt Laframboise who took it down the ice for a breakaway and put the puck in the right top corner of the Cougars net to make it 2-1 for the Point to end the second.

Both teams began the third playing hard, as this game could still be won by either team. Similar to the second periods play, the third was end-to-end action with both teams getting good scoring chances. Midway through the third, the Cougars tied the game on a Point Edward weak moment but this seemed to spark the Hawks as they countered shortly thereafter with goals by Jason Caley and Jett Terpstra to end the game 4-2 for the Point.

Strathroy Rockets Red

The second game didn’t see the Hawks slow up a bit. Two and a half minutes into the first period and with the Hawks charging, Noah Best made an excellent cross ice pass to an open Nathan Edlington who one timed it to open the scoring for the Point. The first saw a fast paced game with both teams getting scoring opportunities. The team of Best and Edlington teamed up again when Best banged in a goal in front of the Rockets net to make it 2-0. The Hawks seemed to find their stride and shortly thereafter Caley made it 3-0 off Kennedy and Young passes to end the first and take a commanding lead.

The Rockets came out aggressive in the second period as Reinders had to make a few sprawling saves to keep them from scoring. The Rockets aggressiveness paid off, as they were able to get a goal three minutes into the period. The Hawks didn’t lose their focus as Best and Edlington teamed up again to get two goals late in the period to make it 5-1.

The third period saw the toll of two games hit the Hawks as the Strathroy Rockets came out charging and were able to get three unanswered goals in the first five minutes of the period to make it 5-4. The Point were able to regain their composure and extend their  lead to 6-4 when Edlington got his hat-trick midway through the third. Their defensive play improved which prevented Strathroy from getting close to Reinders in net. Best and Edlington weren’t finished for the game as Best got his hat-trick and Edlington got his fourth of the game to end it 8-4 for the Point. 

The Point’s next game is Saturday November 21^st at 5pm in the Point versus East Lambton.
