Hamilton;
After taking game
one at home on
Friday night the
Major Bantam’s hit
the road Saturday
night for game two
in Hamilton. Sarnia
started the game off
strong controlling
the play in all
three zones. The
offensive line of
Chapdelaine, Adams
and Ginnell had
several great
scoring
opportunities but
couldn’t seem to
beat the Reps
Goaltender. Hamilton
had the first power
play of the game but
a strong Sarnia
penalty kill kept
the Reps from
mounting any type of
pressure on the
Sting. Soon after
the Sting would get
a power play of
their own and once
again the Reps
netminder was solid
in goal as he made
several big saves
point blank to keep
the game tied at
0-0. Late in the
first period Sarnia
would strike first
as Gage Riddoch
would make a
beautiful tape to
tape pass to Kyle
Adams who then hit a
streaking Sean
Ginnell as he would
break wide around
the defencemen and
fire home a shot low
glove to give the
Sting a 1-0 lead at
the end of the first
period.
Sarnia;
Sunday the Sting
were back on home
ice where they’ve
only lost 3 games in
18 matchups this
season. This was an
import game 3 as a
Hamilton win could
even up the series
or a Sarnia win
would put the
defending champions
on their heels.
First period action
the Reps seemed to
have the jump on
Sarnia with both
teams trying to gain
the advantage. For
the third game in a
row it was Sarnia on
the board first and
again it was Sean
Ginnell with the
opening goal with
Aiden Chapdelaine
and Kyle Adams
picking up the
assists. The lead
didn’t last for long
as Hamilton would
even the game up
just 14seconds later
and then 29seconds
later would get
their first lead of
the series 2-1 as
the first period
came to an end. Sarnia will travel to Hamilton on Friday night for game 4 @ 9pm and try to finish off the league’s defending champs. If game 5 is required it will be Saturday Feb 25th 4:30pm @ Clearwater Arena.
