The Scotiabank Peewee Warriors played a home and away pair of games this weekend with mixed results.
On Friday night the Warriors travelled to RIM Park in Waterloo to take on the always dangerous Wolves. Zach Dow opened the scoring in the first period, taking a pass from Calvin McCorkindale and burying home a shot from the slot. Dylan Hall drew the other assist. Stratford extended the lead to 2-0 in the second period when Everett Hawkins buried home a feed from Hayden Arms on the power play. Defenseman Charlie Rankin had the other helper. The third period was dominated by a relentless Warrior attack. Arms, with what proved to be the winning goal, made it 3-0 at the ten minute mark of the third, banging home a rebound in the paint. Dow had the lone assist. Waterloo finally managed to solve goaltender Liam McCann less than a minute later to make it a 3-1 game, but Carter Lewis tallied again for the Warriors on a pretty feed from Brenden Moorehead. Arms, with his second of the game finished off the scoring late in the third on an end to end rush. Trent Zordgrager and Kobe Robinson assisted on the goal. It was a solid team effort and a much needed two points in the standings.
On Saturday night the Scotiabank Warriors hosted the Burlington Bulldogs at the Allman. Although the team had hoped to build off of a strong effort the night before, the Warriors came out flat which resulted in penalty trouble throughout the game. Burlington carried a 2-0 lead into the second period, but Stratford struck early to close the gap. Hall finished off a pretty passing play down low on the power play. Lewis and Dow had the helpers. The Warriors played the rest of the game with a steady stream to the penalty box and the talented Bulldogs made the team pay. Burlington scored three unanswered goals, the final marker into an empty next to make it 5-1 final.
The Scotiabank Peewee Warriors play host to the Sarnia Sting this Saturday at the Allman, before finishing off the regular season in Kitchener on Sunday.
