Burlington 2 - Stratford 1
The Stratford Scotiabank Major PeeWee AA's lost a 2 1 heartbreaker to Burlington to close their six point series, 6 to 4.
The Bankers came out flat and escaped the scoreless first period, thanks to the strong netminding of Noah Redfern-Lount.
In the second period, strong forechecking lead to a beautiful redirect by Dalton Carde on a perfect point shot by Riley Walsh. James Wilson was credited with an assist. A controversial goal by Tim Clay was disallowed in the second period that would have put Stratford up by 2.
Burlington scored on a powerplay to tie the game in the third then scored with 31 seconds left. Stratford pressed with time running out and at the final buzzer the puck was pulled from the net but disallowed and three seconds were put back on the clock for an unknown reason.
Despite their valiant effort, Stratford could not equalize. They face Waterloo in their next series.
