Sarnia Tyke Pacers
2010

May 15, 2010

The season opened with back to back battles for the Tyke Pacers at Clearwater Arena this Saturday.
 

The team is lead by Captain Simon Doan, Assistant Carter Barron and Assistant Kyle Haas – all returning players from last years’ Tyke team.  The Tykes met with quite a challenge from the Sun County Crows. Sean Foster is the net minder for Sarnia and gave an outstanding effort on his debut game.

The first period had Sun County finding the back of the net on 3 occasions, followed by the second period with 2 more. Sarnia was able to assert their place on the pad in the third period with a goal being scored by Carter Barron – unassisted. Sun County finished the game with a 9-1 win.

 

1 PM GAME

 

The 2nd game was a more comparable match between the teams.  The first period saw Sarnia answering Sun County’s first 2 goals with 2 goals of their own.  Krisitan Spitzig was unassisted with scoring as was AP player Tyler Caron. Spitzig returned for more in the second period with a repeat of the first.  Third period saw solid passing with the results being the fourth goal of the game from Tyler Caron, assisted by Krisitan Spitzig.

Sun County Crows left town with the 2nd game in the win column, showing a 7-4 result.

 
A Bumpy Ride in London

This evening, Head Coach Karmen Adams, with Assistants Ken Doan and Mark Haas, as well as Trainer Mike Barron headed down the highway, for the first time this season with the Tyke Team.

 

It started on an unexpected note with Assistant Captain Carter Barron being absent due to injury.  Kristian Spitzig stepped up to the plate to wear the A tonight. 

 

London was fast and furious and a serious challenge to the Sarnia Pacers in this competition.  Sarnia’s effort was
an assertive one with lots of activity in the penalty box. The first period saw Spitzig sitting for a tripping and a high stick call. The second period had Trenton Tomlinson in the box for a high stick call. The third period had Kyle Fraser on the score sheet with 2 checking from behind minors.

 

Unfortunately, London spent most of the game on the floor and not in the penalty box, which resulted in a 14 – 0 victory. Kudos to Sarnia goalie Sean Foster for standing tall through it all.

 

The boys are back on the road this Thursday to meet with Wallaceburg for the first time this season.
