The Petrolia Squires winning streak continues
after taking a 5 - 4 win over the Tillsonburg
Thunder on Friday night at home in WOAA Senior AA

The Thunder took a 2 - 0 lead in the first period

late in the period. Scoring the first goal for

and Shawn Waldie. Chris Edwards added the
second goal with Nathan Ansell and Edgar picking up

Action continue in the second and the Thunder
once again took the lead on a power play goal led by

assist of the night on the play and Jeremiah
Goodacre also picked up a point with an assist.
In the third Kraig Wright scored at 4:51 to give
the Squries the lead for the first time in the game
with Andrew Sokol and Dan Venema assisting. That
lead was short lived just over a minute later when

Thunder to tie things up once again. But another
shorthanded goal this time by the Squires Zac
