West London took the lead in the first period then doubled their score in the second to
take a 2 - 0 lead heading into the third.  In the third London scored their 3rd goal to
take a 3 - 0 lead.  That didn't stop Sarnia as they dug in a fought back and hard work
paid off as they scored their first goal just over a minute later with Adam Marshall
from Kyle Solness and Don Monaghan put the Jr Sting on the scoreboard.  Two minutes
later they came back and narrowed the lead when Tyler Tobin scored assisted by Adam Marshall.
With 1:21 left on the clock Sam Murray scored to tie the game assisted by Marshall and
Andrew Blokzyl.  The clock ran out sending the game into overtime.

In the first Over time period no results despite the Sting playing the last minute
shorthanded giving West London the 5 on 4 man advantage. 



In the next overtime period Sarnia played most of it shorthanded.  Goaltender Mitch Core kept Sarnia
in the game with his outstanding play.  In one particular save Core amazed everyone on both sides, especially the shooter who showed great sportsmanship and went over and congratulated Core
 after the play stopped.

The second over time period ended without deciding a winner thus sending the
game into a simultaneous shoot out.  In the shoot out Core stopped both of his London shooters.
Stepping up for Sarnia were Tyler Tobin and Jamie Schieman who both hit their mark giving
the Sarnia Jr Sting the win!
