Carter Keating was goaltender for Sunday's game. Stratford had control of the puck for a lot of the first period. London was the first to be sent to the penalty box. London was on the scoreboard first with a goal, at 1:36 in the period. The first goal for the Warriors, was netted at the end of the first period by Ried Morris, assisted by Evan Hughes and Jake Schultz. Owen Blackburn and Rowan Green held firm at the blue line. Schultz and Cam Munro were the winners of the puck drops and getting it out to their players.
The second period saw two goals by the Warriors. At 12:43, Griffin Harvey scored, taking a pass from Ty Jackson and Piers Murray. At 2:09 Schultz took a loose puck by the hash-marks and scored in the top left corner, assist given to Nate Van Bakel. Jackson tried a breakaway with a quick pass to Harvey. Jack Bannon played tough on defence. Blackburn poked the puck out to the forwards. Keiran Johnson and Murray were quick on the board scuffles. Keating fought off several attempts by London, with some amazing goaltending moves. Graedon Smith held firm in the corners keeping possession of the puck, while Will Pepper dumped the puck out to his teammates.
Early in the third, Jackson who was waiting in front of the net, scored a goal off a perfect pass from Caden Ollson. Stratford earned a power play at 7:45 to use, followed shortly after by a penalty at the 5 minute mark. Van Bakel had a break away down the ice, to backhand the puck into the corner pocket, all alone, at the 2:45 mark. Ollson followed with another break away, to grab one more point to finish the game.The final winning score was 6-1 for the Warriors. Great teamwork Stratford!
