Lambton vs Elgin Middlesex
February 10, 2008

In their final regular season game of the year the Lambton Minor Atoms hosted the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs in a game that will be remembered less for the kids play and more for the never-ending trips to the penalty box by both teams.  The Chiefs would prevail by a final score of 4-2 including an empty netter with eight seconds left on the clock.

The Jr Sting team fell behind by two goals at the end of one and after scoring the only one of the second, looked like the third period would be theirs to take.  A back and forth effort in the third and some big saves by Tyler Armitage couldn’t provide the boost necessary to turn the game around. Scoring for the Lambton squad were Franco Sproviero and Vaughan DeGurse with assists going to Alec Dekoning, Colin Leyton and Brock Perry.

The Sting hardhat is peacefully resting, awaiting the first round of the playoffs which begin in Hamilton against the Reps on Saturday and return to the SSEC on Sunday at 12:15.
