Stars win over Sarnia
On Sunday Dec.4th the St Thomas Lions Club Major Midgets travelled to Sarnia trying to put some distance between themselves and 3rd place Sarnia.
St Thomas's Will Strong opened the scoring at 11:32 in the 1st period assisted by Ryan McDonnell and Taylor Emmerton. The score remained set at 1-0 until 32 seconds left in the 2nd period with a goal from Harrison Luce assisted by Conner Hodgins-Depont. Harrison managed to score 1 more at 6:50 in the 3rd period on a long stretch pass from Tyler Beaulieu putting the Stars up 3-0.
The Sarnia Jr Sting did not let up and finally managed to put one behind Ricky Corkum at 2:41 in the 3rd. St T earned 2 penalties in the 3rd with just over 2 minutes to go giving Sarnia a 5 on 3 advantage. Sarnia put on the pressure by pulling their goalie making it 6 on 3, but the Jr Stars held Sarnia off making for a nail-biting finish. The final score was 3-1 for St Thomas. Next the Stars host the 1st place London Jr Knights on Sat Dec 10th at the Timken center at 4:30p. The Stars are hoping to move a step closer to 1st place in the Alliance A/AA Seeded Hockey League.
