Peewees Win Against Brampton
The Saugeen Maitland AA Peewees hosted the Brampton Canadettes at the Howick Arena on Sunday and came away with a hard fought win.
Brampton came to play and the two teams were content playing a good clean but physical game. The Canadettes were first to light up the score board with a shot from the point, putting the home town squad down a goal.
But the Lightning were not to settle with being behind and before the first period was over had tied the game up at one goal a piece. Saugeen continued to play well through the second period and were able to take a 3 - 1 lead into the second intermission.
Brampton dug down deep in the third period throwing everything at the local girls as the clocked ticked down including pulling their goaltender, but the strong Lightning defense proved to be to strong for the visiting squad. When the final buzzer sounded, the score remained 3 - 1 for Saugeen Maitland. The win kept them in second place in their division behind Burlington and one point ahead of Oakville.
The girls are back in action next weekend with a home game at the Howick arena against Stoney Creek on Saturday at noon where they will try and avenge their recent loss to the Sabres. Come out and cheer the girls on!
