The Lambton Junior Sting Minor PeeWee AAA were on the ice for 2 away games this past weekend, losing by a close 4 – 3 margin to the Brantford 99ers and settling for a 2 – 2 tie in Hamilton on Sunday afternoon.

 

On Saturday, in Brantford, the Sting would fall behind early and find themselves trailing by a 1 – 0 margin, but Dante Fuoco would tie the score at 1 with assists going to Josh Vale and Cameron Rombouts before the first period would end.  Brantford would open a 3 – 1 lead in the 2^nd period and take a 4 – 1 lead at the beginning on the 3^rd period and Lambton would find themselves in the difficult position of being down by 3 in the 3^rd period.  The boys would battle hard and Cam Rombouts would score a goal assisted by Dante Fuoco to narrow the margin to 4 – 2.  Dante Fuoco would score a late goal on the power play assisted by Joey Ferrera and Alec Trusler to make things interesting, but time would expire with the Sting taking a 4 – 3 loss.

 

In Hamilton on Sunday afternoon the boys were anxious to get back in the win column and jumped out to a strong start in the first period as Theo Crombeen would score a power play goal assisted by Cameron Adam and Lucas Knowles to give the Sting a 1 – 0 lead.  Hamilton would score a late 1^st period power play goal to tie the score at 1.  Lambton would continue to press the play in the 2^nd period and would be rewarded as Cameron Adam would drive to the goal and score on a nice feed from behind the net by Theo Crombeen.  Joey Ferrera would also pick up an assist on the play.  The Sting would get into some penalty trouble in the 3^rd period and Hamilton would take advantage to tie the game at 2.  There would be no more scoring the rest of the way and the boys would settle for the 2 – 2 tie.
