The Point Edward Blackhawks hosted the Strathroy Rockets to start the 2012 portion of their season in Lambton Middlesex play and blanked the Rockets 4-0.

 

The game started with play going end-to-end and Bailey Reinders coming up big early to set the tone of the game and keep it at 0-0. Early in the action, Young made a cross-crease pass to Kennedy who put it in the top corner to give the Point a 1-0 lead. The fast pace continued for a majority of the period with the defense and goalies working hard to prevent any goals. As the period was coming to an end, the Point was controlling the play in the Rockets end and Laframboise passed the puck to Jackson at the blue-line who whistled one pass the Rockets goalie to make it 2-0 after one.

 

The Blackhawks continued the pressure from the first and made it count early when Riddell took a shot from the Rockets blue-line that the Strathroy goalie could not handle and made it 3-0.The remainder of the second saw the Hawks and Rockets playing a more physical game with each team getting opportunities but both teams defense held the line.

 

The third saw the Point get into penalty trouble early with Strathroy getting a 5-on-3 opportunity but the Point did an awesome job killing the penalty. The Point continued to fore-check the Rockets hard and not letting them set up a rush in the third. As the game came to an end and the Rockets were running out of steam, Best rushed into the Strathroy zone, passing the defense and jamming the puck between the goalies legs to end it 4-0 in favour of the Point.

In As Many Days, Pt Edward PeeWee’s Win their Second Straight Game

 

In their second game in as many days, the Point Edward Blackhawk PeeWee’s travelled to Parkhill in Lambton-Middlesex league action and came away with a convincing 9-2 victory.

 

The Point came out a bit sluggish from their early morning travel to Parkhill but as the game progressed they slowly got their legs back. Midway through the period and with the Hawks controlling the puck in the Parkhill zone, Young passed to Jackson at the blue-line who let one rip to make it 1-0. Shortly thereafter, the Hawks got called on a hooking penalty and it didn’t take long for Parkhill to make it count to tie the game at one. The Point countered with their own when Young brought the puck into the Parkhill zone and using the defense as a screen put it in the top corner to regain and end the period 2-1.

 

The second period of play saw the first half pretty evenly matched and neither team taking control of the action. Midway through the period and with the face-off in the Point zone, the Hawks had trouble clear the puck from their zone and Parkhill managed to tie it  2-2. This seemed to be the turning point of the game as the Hawks quickly retaliated to regain the lead when Terpstrra scored with assists going to Boccanfuso and Canie. The Point would get two more unanswered goals by Best and Canie before the period ended 6-2 in the Hawks favour.

 

The third period was all Hawks as they scored three more by Young, Best and Canie to end the game 9-2 and end a successful weekend with four points.
