The Scotiabank Major Peewee Rep Warriors have earned a berth in the Alliance Bristol league finals by sweeping the Brantford 99ers in the semis.
After winning game one at home, the Warriors faced a determined 99ers squad in Brantford and found themselves down by one after one period. But a three goal second period put them in control as they cruised to a 6-2 win. Clayton Lewis scored twice and Nathan Hall and Brody Hunt had one goal and one assist each. Rounding out the scoring were Michael Cossey and Jarrett Baker. Dalton Smith and Justin Beuermann had two assists each and Scott Chisholm added one helper. Justin Hergott was strong in the early going to earn the win in net. At home, in game three, Stratford opened a three goal lead before allowing the 99ers to close to within one in the third period. But an empty netter and a last second goal gave them the series with a 5-2 victory. Hunt (2 G), Beuermann (1G 1A), Hall (1G 1A) and Smith (1G 1A) led the attack. Lewis had two assists and Isaiah Duiker one. Ryan Lay backstopped the win in net. Stratford now faces the London Bandits in the finals, who finished only two points back in the regular season standings and posted a 1-1-1 record against the Warriors. Game one is Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at the Allman.
