The
Point Edward
Bantams
travelled to
Strathroy to
play the
Rockets in
Lambton-Middlesex
league
action and
produced a
seven goal
third period
to beat the
Rockets 9-0
in regular
season play.
Strathroy
came out a
bit sluggish
to start the
game and the
Hawks didn’t
give them
any slack as
they hit the
scoreboard
early. Two
and half
minutes in
and with the
play in the
Rockets end,
Conroy let
one rip from
the
blue-line to
beat the
Rockets
goalie to
give the
Point a 1-0
early lead.
Immediately
after the
next
face-off the
Hawks drove
into the
Rockets end
with Taylor
and
Boccanfuso
setting up
McGugan to
take a
comfortable
2-0 lead.
This seemed
to wake up
the Rockets
who were
able to keep
the Point
forwards
away from
their net.
The second
period saw a
more
defensive
style of
play from
both teams
and the
Hawks
defensive
team played
well and
didn’t let
the Rockets
have any
second
chances at
the net.
Midway
through the
period, the
Point got
into penalty
trouble but
they were
able to
handle the
Strathroy
offensive
rush. As the
period came
to a close,
it could be
seen that
the Point
team was
gaining
momentum and
controlling
the play of
the game
quite well.
The third
period saw
the Hawks
take full
control of
the game
with seven
unanswered
goals. Smith
set the pace
30 seconds
into the
period with
an
unassisted
goal that
led to four
more goals
being scored
by
Boccanfuso,
Stevenson,
Marr and
Taylor in
the first
five minutes
of the
period.
Strathroy
finally
regained
their
composure
but couldn’t
muster up an
offensive
push to get
on the
board. By
the time the
horn rang to
end the game
the Hawks
got two more
goals by
McGugan and
Marr to end
the game
9-0.
Collins and
Fortey
shared the
duties in
net and got
the
shot-out.
