Santa Comes Early for the Jr.Sting Minor
MD Atoms
-Win 4-3 versus West London-
The Jr. Sting minor MD Atoms won
their first game of the season 4-3, in a hard fought battle
against the West London Hawks in Forest City hockey league
action.
Sarnia caught the Hawks off guard by
starting the game hitting hard and going after the puck. The
Jr.Sting forced the play by pushing the puck deep into the West
London zone but their goalie came up with some big saves to keep
the Jr.Sting off the board and any attempts from the Hawks to
get near the Sting goal was neutralized by the defense. Sarnia
had one power play opportunity in the period but couldn’t
capitalize and the period ended tied at 0-0.
The Jr.Sting continued to play their
game by attacking the puck and trying to keep it deep into the
West London zone. Eric Lange came up big when needed to keep the
game at zero with the defense playing excellent and not giving
the Hawks many opportunities to get close. Near the end of the
period, Jacob Williams got things rolling when he broke lose
from a crowd and got a breakaway to make it 1-0 for the Sting.
With the game close, both teams came
out in the third wanting the win and play was hard hitting. The
Sting extended their lead early when Cameron Orrange scored off
an Aleah Boersma pass to make it 2-0. The Hawks finally were
able to get on the board when they scored in a scramble in front
of the Sting net to keep the game close. Sarnia didn’t let up
and immediately retaliated 7 seconds later with their own goal,
when Cameron Orrange got his second goal of the game when he
drove the puck directly from the face-off to make it 3-1. The
last half of the period got very physical with three penalties
being called in the last 5 minutes of the game. The Hawks were
able to make it 3-2 but as before the Sting didn’t let up and
made West London pay when on a power play opportunity, Kasen
Sebben made it 4-2 with an assist going to Cameron Orrange. Eric
Lange continued to play excellent in net with the Hawks added
pressure and the game ended 4-3 in the Jr.Stings favour.
The Jr. Sting’s next game is against
the Stratford on Saturday January 5th @ 4:00pm at the Allman
arena in Stratford.
