Major Midgets beat Southpoint to finish their 1st round.
The Elgin Chrysler Major Midgets tied Southpoint last night in game 5 of their 1st round OMHA playdowns, but that was enough to finish it off.  Each game in this match up has been close and down to the wire… (Game 1- tied 2-2; Game 2 – lost 3-2 o/t; Game 3- win 4-2; Game 4 – win 3-2), but St. Thomas was up 5 points to 3 going into last nights game.  St. Thomas fought back from a 2 goal deficit after 2 periods… but dominated the 3rd period scoring all 3 of their goals in the 1st half of the 3rd!  Southpoint refused to quit and scored a tying goal with about 7 minutes left… which would eventually force us into yet another overtime period.  After a 10 minute sudden victory overtime, the game was called a draw and St.Thomas declared the winner of the series! 

Game 5 drew fans and supporters from all over… parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles… school friends and church friends… hockey fans of all types came out to watch what proved to be a real nail bitter!!!  The crowd was huge and the fan support gave our boys the extra lift they needed to finish this series!

 

The Midgets have 2 regular season games to finish this week, (Brantford on Monday, and North London on Tuesday) and then they will start round 2 against the winner of Riverside and Amherstburg.  GO STARS GO!!
