Alliance Playoffs
Lambton vs Huron Perth
 

The Lambton AAA Minor Atoms traveled to Hensall Friday night in an important matchup against the Huron Perth Lakers. The game was an exciting affair with chances at both ends of the rink but it was Jake Wilkins in the Lambton net that would complete the game with a well deserved shutout. Scoring the only goal in the 1-0 victory for the Jr Sting was Colin Leyton with assists to Vaughan DeGurse and Patrick Wright. The coveted hardhat was shared by the entire team in the high tempo affair.

This win combined with a Huron Perth loss the following day meant that the round robin could be captured by the Lambton squad on Sunday with a victory on home ice over the Sun County Panthers.

Still buzzing from the Friday road trip the boys came out sluggish against the Panthers and relied on the solid goaltending of Jake Armitage to hold them in the opening period of the game. After trading markers in the first the Jr Sting would start to gain some momentum and add a couple more in the second to head into the final period with a 3-2 lead. The third period was all Lambton as the team scored at five minute intervals to mount a three goal lead and then closed the deal with their sixth marker of the game on a late powerplay.  With the 6-2 victory the Jr Sting secured their matchup in the playoff championship against the Kitchener Jr Rangers.

Scoring for the Sting were Isaac McLean with 2 goals and 1 assist, Jake Burnard with a goal and two assists, Alec Dekoning with 1 and 1, Brock Perry with 1 and 1, Franco Sproviero with a goal and the final assist to Brett Barnes. Picking up the Sting Hardhat for his stellar goaltending effort was Armitage.
