Lambton 9- Windsor 5
In the final game of the 2007 year for the Lambton Midget Jr.
Sting they faced off against the Windsor Jr. Spitfires. The two
teams found themselves tied for 2nd in the west division and
both teams needed the 2 points.
The Jr. Sting scored first on a Matt Morden powerplay goal. The
Spitfires quickly evened the score before Darby MacKinnon added
his first of the game. Windsor would add one more before the
end of the first period to go into the break at 2-2.
No one in the building could have predicted the action in the
second as Windsor would come out a score 2 quick goals before
Lambton would rally with 4 in the second half of the period.
Zack MacQueen started the fun for the Sting before Jesse Drydak
and Eric Belanger gave Lambton the lead and Drydak would add
another to cap the period with a score of Lambton 6- Windsor 4.
The 3rd was a little tamer but the Jr. Sting outscored Windsor
3-1 in the period with goals coming from Zack MacQueen and two
from Darby MacKinnon to complete his hatrick. The line of
MacQueen, Drydak and MacKinnon accounted for 7 goals and 8
assists for the game.
The final score was Lambton 9- Windsor 5 in a barnburner.
Jordan Gladwish played solid in the win. Assists on the game
went to Drydak (2), MacKinnon, MacQueen (5), Nick Lajoie, Andrew
Sokol (2), Nick Kozmin, Aaron Scheiman (2), Rory Keane, Colten
Jamieson, Ryan Hunt and Travis Mullen.
The game marked the highest scoring game of the season for the
Sting and featured a point from every player on the team. The
Jr. Sting now head off to Hamilton for a showcase weekend and
look forward to the return of team captain Jordan Hurst after a
2 month absence due to two separated shoulders.
Lambton now sits in 2nd in the West Division and hold home ice
for the first round of playoffs. |
