Jr Sting are 1w and 1l since Split
The Jr Sting bantams have started the second half of their schedule and managed a road win and home loss in first two games.
In game 1 on the 'A' side of the Major bantam alliance the Jr Sting hosted the Cambridge Hawks at the Clearwater arena and came out 'asleep' on their way to a lackluster 4-0 loss.
In their next action Sarnia travelled to the far end of London to battle the London Bandits at the chilly Argyle arena. After scoring late in the first period to take a 1-0 lead, some sloppy play and two quick Bandit goals saw the Jr Sting down late in the period. With only seconds remaining a powerplay goal would tie the score at 2's going into period 2. The second period would see the Sarnia powerplay click 3 times and along with an even strenght marker the visiting team would open up a 6-2 lead after two periods. The goalies and penalty box would prevail in the third as neither team could make good on their opportunities and the Sting would earn their first league win in some time by the final of 6-2. Brody Dummitt was solid between the pipes stopping 20 of 22 shots. Scoring for the local squad were Jack Dunn with 2 and singles to Kyle Vince, Lukas Simon, Dylan 'Boom-Boom' Lavoie and Cody Nicolaisen. Picking up assists were Vince with 2 and singles to Zach Vanderwal, Nicolaisen, Dunn and Morgan Halcovitch.
