Sarnia Jr. Sting Defeat Woodstock 2 - 1

On Saturday January 19, 2008, the Sarnia Minor Atom A’s travelled to Woodstock to take on the Navy Jets and defeated them by a score of 2 – 1.

The Jr. Sting didn’t start out the game as expected, as Woodstock managed to score 10 seconds into the game to make it 1 – 0 for the Navy Jets.  However, the Jr. Sting regained their composure and by the midpoint of the first period were controlling most of the game.  At the 4 minute mark of the 2^nd period, in a 3 on 2 rush, Justin Riley-Meyer skated into the Navy Jets end and attempted a pass to Tyler McLean that was deflected by the Navy Jets’ defenseman.  The deflected puck managed to find Nic Day, who was trailing as part of the 3 on 2 rush, in the slot where he fired the puck to beat the Woodstock goalie and tie the game at one a piece.  At the 9 minute mark of the 3^rd period, Justin Riley-Meyer intercepted a Woodstock pass at the Navy Jets’ blue line and rushed in beating one defender and the Woodstock goalie with some nice deaks to give the Jr. Sting the lead.  With the score 2 – 1, the Navy Jets applied some pressure and had a number of chances that were denied as a result of some fantastic saves by Jr. Sting goaltender Nicholas Coady.  The Jr. Sting held on and won the game 2 – 1 giving them their 3^rd win in “Seeded Division” play.

Congratulations to all the boys on a good game!
