The Sarnia Jr. Sting Novice Tier 1 were in action at the Germain arena October 13^th for their first regular season game versus SSE Wild.

The first period opened with both teams full on energy.  SSE struck first at the 9:00 minute marker.  However, Sarnia tied it up 47seconds later as Cameron Adam one timed a shot from the slot from a perfect centring pass by Brayden Groulx.  Later, in the period Sarnia had a power play where they continued to press but just couldn’t put it in.  The Sting went up 2-1 as Max Steeves buried his shot from good feed from Nash Nienhuis.  SSE tied the game in the last minute to end the 1^st 2-2.  This period belonged to the Sting as the controlled most of the play.

The second period saw a bit of a breakdown in the defensive play of the Sting.  SSE was able to capitalize on their opportunities by scoring 4 unanswered goals, making it 6-2 after two periods.

In the 3^rd period both teams started to look a little tired.  Although unable to score any goals, the Sting did successfully kill a 5 on 3 shorthanded situation, with special mention to Jacob Williams who did well on the PK.

The game ended 8-2 in favour of SSE Wild, however, the score was not a good indication of the game or the boys effort.  Keep your chins up boys…we will get them next time.
