Lambton at Chatham
December 5, 2009

Lambton was in Chatham on Saturday afternoon to face the Cyclones.

The Jr. Sting jumped on CK early and often with Max Steeves scoring on the first shift, Daniel Wellington (back from injury) scoring on the second shift and Nick DiScanno scoring on the third shift of the game to stake Lambton to a 3-0 lead before the game was two minutes old. Some sloppy play by Lambton ensued with CK making it 3-1 with their goalie pulled. The Jr. Sting’s Josh Barraclough made it 4-1 and Nick DiScanno made it 5-1 at the end of period with his second of the game.

Birthday boy Nash Nienhuis scored a beauty on the Power Play coming off a nice feed from Josh Barraclough. Nash got the puck at the blue line and walked in off the point and buried a slap shot, beating the goalie low. Nick DiScanno completed his hat-trick going top-shelf on a breakaway on a nice feed from Jameson Hart making it 7-1 after two periods. The Sting gave up 2 third period goals but cruised to a 7-3 victory.

Patrick Kelly got the win in net.

Nick DiScanno had 3 goals and 1 assist.

Josh Barraclough had 1 goal and 2 assists.

Jameson Hart had 3 assists.

Max Steeves, Daniel Wellington and Nash Nienhuis each had 1 goal.

Brennan Mckegan and Cade Robbins each had 1 assist.

Lambton vs Brantford
December 6, 2009

Lambton hosted Brantford on Sunday afternoon hoping to complete a weekend sweep and get another 2 points.

The game was a close checking affair with neither team generating much offense - especially the home squad who were without a shot after period one.

Brennan Mckegan made a great play to score for the Jr. Sting in period two by blocking a shot at the point and then dekeing out the Brantford goalie before burying a low wrister low glove. The tight checking continued with both teams getting more chances and the goalies standing tall. The second period ended with the home team up 1-0. Lambton took two minor penalties with seven minutes to go in the period, which put the penalty kill to the test. The boys passed with flying colours keeping the puck out by getting in the shooting lanes and by blocking shots.

The Jr. Sting managed to grind out the 1-0 victory but not without some great stops by Ethan Hunt in between the pipes – including a spectacular pad save with less than five minutes to go.

The win got Lambton the 4 points they were looking for on the weekend and moved the Jr. Sting closer to .500 on the season at 9-11-2.

Ethan Hunt got the win and the shutout in net.

Brennan Mckegan had the 1 goal.
