got
a
boost
as

minor
hockey
night
-
plenty
of
young
ones
in
attendance.
When
the
announcer
asked
the
captains
for
each
team
to
take
the
ceremonial
first
puck
drop,
doing
the
honours
for
the
Blast
was
Forest
native
Owen
Rogers.
In
goal
for
Petrolia
was
Michael
Zador
and
between
the
pipes
for
the
Blast
win
was
Matt
Berglund.

The
first
penalty
of
the
game

Blast.
One
minute
after
the
penalty
expired,
Sarnia
got
on
the
scoreboard
with
a
marker
off
the
stick
of
Chris
McGuffin
with
assists
to
Scott
Stafford
and
Owen
Rogers.
Making
it a
2-0
game
at
the
eight
minute
mark
was
Darby
McKinnon
a
call-up
from
the
midget
system.
Assists
were
picked
up
by
Adam
Steadman
and
Clark
MacPherson.
Then
at
13:41
MacPherson
went
off
for
a
slashing
minor
and
during
this
time
the
Jets
had
some
good
scoring
chances
including
a
high
moving
puck
that
was
batted
toward
the
net
by a
Jets
player
but
Berglund
came
up
with
a
big
save.
