The ‘07 Minor Peewee Rep team, sponsored by Royal LePage Hiller Realty won their 8 point series on Thursday night with an overtime tie against the London Jr. Knights Green.
It was yet another exciting game between these two teams as both left it all on the ice. With an emotional pre-game team meeting the boys took their lifelong bond on and off the ice and used it come together to secure the final point they needed. Netminder Ryan McGill answered the call in net and stood strong throughout the game. After a scoreless first period, London struck first leaving Stratford to play catch up again. London’s goalie shut down a Stratford penalty shot to close out the second period but early in the third Colin Schultz took a pass from Aaron Green and fired it top shelf to tie the game. Three minutes later Carter Petrie ripped one from the point, assisted by C.Schultz to give Stratford a brief 2-1 lead. But London would tie it again, despite strong back checking from Rylan Hall and Zach Schultz. Needing a tie or a win Stratford hung on in overtime, earning themselves a trip to the finals with a 2-2 tie!
