Point Edward Blackhawk Atoms

Hand Jets 7-3 Loss

The Point Edward Blackhawk Atom hockey team played the Ilderton Jets in one of a few league weeknight games and came away with a convincing 7-3 win in Lambton-Middlesex league action.

The Blackhawks came to play as they put pressure on the Jets right from the drop of the puck and caught Ilderton off guard. This worked for the Point as two minutes into the period Kaeden Canie scored off a Jett Terpstra pass to make it 1-0 and twenty-four seconds later Nathan Edlington teamed up with Bradley Hunking to make it 2-0. The Jets seemed to gather their composure and began to play the Hawks head to head. This paid off for the Jets as they caught the Point in a moment of confusion and were able to tie the period at 2-2 before it ended to make it a close game.

After a coach pep talk, the Point regained their composure and 1 minute into the period, Jacob Cunningham made a clearing pass to an open Nathan Edlington to regain the lead for the Hawks. The second period saw some excellent hockey with Reinders making some great saves to keep the Points lead. Both teams defense played well as they kept the game at 3-2.

The third period saw Ilderton break the Hawks defensive wall 1 minute into the period to tie the game at 3-3. The Hawks didn’t waste any time and immediately retaliated with three goals by Caley, Best and Kennedy within five minutes to put the game out of reach for the Jets. Canie and Terpstra teamed up a final time, just as they started the game, to make it a 7-3 final score and give the Point the win.
