The Sarnia Lady
Sting Midget A Team traveled to
Rochester New York to take part
in the Fire On Ice Tournament
this past weekend. The Lady
Sting started the Tournament
with an early 7:00 am start vs.
the New Jersey Rockets. The Lady
Sting fell behind early in the
game, but was able to score a
late goal to come away with a
1-1 tie. The Lady Sting would
play the Markham Stars in the
second game of the day. The Lady
Sting was determined to come out
strong, after losing twice to
the stars in a previous
tournament. The Lady Sting would
score first and often, as they
built up a 5-1 lead, before
giving up two late goals to win
5-3.
On day two of the
Tournament the Lady Sting were
matched up against the Princeton
Tiger's. The Tiger's opened the
scoring on the first shift of
the game, putting the Lady Sting
in an early hole down 1-0. Once
again the Lady Sting would
battle back twice in the game,
and came away with a 2-2 tie.
The Lady Sting completed the
round robin undefeated with a
1-0-2 record. The Lady Sting
were ranked 6th after the
preliminary round and were
matched up against #3 Aurora
Panthers in the Quarter Finals.
With a late 10:20 pm start, the
Lady Sting were able to get an
early jump on the Panthers and
score the first two goals of the
game. The Panthers would score
midway thru the game with a
little help from the Sting's own
team (enough said). The game
would end with the Sting winning
2-1, and securing a birth in the
Semi Finals on Sunday.
In the Semi Final
game the Lady Sting was matched
up against the home town
Rochester Rattlers and their
Ref's. The Lady Sting would open
the game with 4 straight penalty
kills before they were able to
open the scoring 1-0. The Lady
Sting kept the pressure on the
home team Rattlers and came away
with a hard fought 4-2 win.
The Championship
game quick for the Lady Sting,
as they only had an hour to rest
before the final vs Mississauga
Chiefs. It seemed the Lady Sting
were able to keep their momentum
going and opened the game with 2
goals in the first period. The
Chief's were able to score late
on the power play, but the
Victory was never in doubt for
the Lady Sting on their way to a
2-1 win and a Championship
Banner, winning the U17A
Division.
