Lambton AAA Minor Atom Earned a Point in Weekend Action
November 17 - 18, 2007

On Saturday the Jr Sting welcomed the Huron-Perth Lakers to the SSEC for their third encounter of the season. In a chippy affair the Lakers controlled the majority of the play early and were able to pull out to a 1-0 lead. The Lambton boys would not let up and were soon rewarded on a powerplay goal by Vaughan DeGurse assisted by Franco Sproviero to tie the game up. Despite chances by both teams there would be no more goals and the season series with the Lakers is now deadlocked with both teams enjoying a win, loss and a tie. Sting hardhat went to DeGurse for his hard work in the corners and solid forechecking.

Sunday the Sting traveled to Waterloo to battle the Wolves in their first meeting of the season. The Wolves were coming off a victory over the league leading London Knights and were hungry to make the Lambton squads visit an unpleasant one. The hard-hitting Waterloo team had built a lead of 3-0 before the Sting could get on the board early in the third period on a goal by Jake Burnard assisted by Isaac McLean. Unfortunately the Wolves took the momentum back with another goal a few shifts later and despite a valiant last ditch effort by the Sting they could only pull to within two as Jack Dunn scored on a tip from Jack Johnston with just over a minute to play in the third period. Earning the hardhat for his great effort and solid checking was Jake Burnard. Final score was Waterloo 4 and the Lambton Sting 2.
