The Jr Sting traveled to Wingham for a road game against the Huron Perth Lakers on Saturday afternoon. The heat may have made each of the teams a little ‘testy’ as both racked up 20 minutes each in the penalty box. Despite the penalties the Lambton squad played one of their most sound games of the season and came away with a well earned 3-1 victory. The Sting would open the scoring in the first period on a goal by Isaac McLean with the assist going to Brock Perry. About three minutes later the Sting would extend the lead to 2-0 with a power-play goal from Franco Sproviero with a lone assist going to Logan Scott. Early in the second period the Lakers would trim the lead to one but a minute later Patrick Wright would put the Sting back up by two with assists going to Alec Dekoning and Vaughn DeGurse.

The third period would see very few scoring chances, but each time the Lakers had one, Jake Wilkins was there to shut the door in the Sting net.

A great effort and well deserved victory for the Jr Sting that saw hard hitting defenseman Dawson ‘Hit ‘em’ Vautour awarded with the ‘Sting Hard Hat’ for his efforts in the game.

Lambton Jr Sting AAA Minor Atom Hosted the Cambridge Hawks
October 7, 2007

The Jr Sting played host to the Hawks from Cambridge on Sunday at the SSEC. After a strong outing on Saturday in Wingham the Jr Sting came out a little flat on home ice and by the mid-point of the second period found themselves down 4-0 to the visitors from Cambridge. With just over five minutes to play in the second period the Jr Sting were able to finally get on the scoreboard with a powerplay goal from Brock Perry, assisted by Logan Scott and Bert Thorpe. Under three minutes later and on another powerplay the Minor Atoms would pull within two on a nice goal by Colin Leyton assisted by Perry and Isaac McLean. Score at the end of the second period was 4-2 for the Hawks. The third period saw some good play by the Sting but goals were hard to come by and as time ticked down they were finally able to pull within one on a goal by McLean, assisted by Perry.

The Jr Sting put up a good fight but were unable to recover after spotting Cambridge an early four goal lead. Tyler Armitage made some big saves between the pipes and Perry was awarded with the Sting hard-hat after his three point performance. The team will resume action next weekend with two games as they will face a strong Kitchener team and make the return trip to Cambridge.
