Point Bantam Blackhawks Slow Start

Leads to a Big Finish

 

The Point Edward Bantam Blackhawks travelled to Parkhill to play the Stars and came away with a 9-3 win in Lambton-Middlesex league action.

 

The Hawks got off to a very slow start when they couldn’t clear their zone in the first minute to play and in a scramble in front of the net the Stars jammed the puck past the goalie to take a 1-0 lead. The Point finally got something going around the six minute mark when McMichael shot the puck from the blueline and Marr tipped it to tie the game at 1-1. Late in the period, the Hawks got three penalties which hampered any chances of taking control of the game.

 

With the Point in penalty trouble, the Stars took advantage of the power play to take a 2-1 lead. This seemed to be a wake-up call for the Point as they quickly began pressuring the Stars and it paid off when Kootstra took control of the puck behind the net and scored off a Stars skate to tie it at 2-2. The Point quickly made it 3-2 when Taylor rushed the zone and made a great pass to Kootstra who took a wrist shot to the right side of the Stars net to get his second within a minute of his previous. With the Stars a bit off balance, the Hawks managed to get three more goals within three minutes to give the Point a comfortable 6-2 lead with goals by McMichael, Smith and Graham, who had nice turnaround backhand to beat the Stars goaltender.

 

The third saw the Hawks get another two goals early, by Kootstra who got a hat-trick as well as McGugan. The Stars managed to get one back but they got themselves into penalty trouble. Taylor ended the Point scoring late in the third to end it 9-3 and give the Point the 2 points for the win.
