Midget A ('95-'97), U16-U18 Travel, 2012-2013 (St. Thomas Minor Hockey)

With a 3-2 road victory over the North London Nationals on Sunday afternoon, the St. Thomas Midget Jr. Stars will be riding a nifty three game win streak heading into the preliminary tournament of the O.M.H.A. playdowns next weekend at Riverside.  Backed by the steady, and often spectacular goaltending of Dan Black, the Jr. Stars remained undefeated in the calendar year of 2013 and appear to be peaking at just the right time. Despite being outshot 36-14 in the game, and outmatched on paper in almost every category including size, speed, skill and experience, assistant captain Keaton McIntyre's second goal of the game at 10:44 of the third period broke a 2-2 tie and stood up as the game winner.  That's why we play the game on the ice and not on paper.

Thanks to some superior goaltending, solid defensive play and a couple of lucky bounces, the St. Thomas Midget Jr. Stars managed to come away with a split of their two games this past weekend.  Despite being dramatically outshot, Jesse Tottle's hat trick coupled with several timely saves by brother Greyson, allowed the Stars to escape with a 4-2 win against the Jr. Sting in Sarnia on Saturday afternoon.  The scenario repeated itself on Sunday afternoon at the Timken Centre in St. Thomas, but the offense could not capitalize on their opportunities, and an empty-netter sealed their fate as Jr. Stars suffered a hard-fought 3-1 defeat at the hands of the London Nationals.
