Sports Ironmen earn two wins, jump into second place The Wingham Ironmen won two of three games played over the weekend to grab a share of second place in the Western Junior C Hockey League with the Kincardine Bulldogs and the Mitchell Hawks. Playing at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex on Friday evening, the Ironmen needed overtime to get past the tough Mitchell Hawks 4-3. The four-game winning streak of the Ironmen came to halt Saturday evening as the team fell 5-3 to the Kincardine Bulldogs at the Davidson Centre. At the Maitland Recreation Centre in Goderich on Sunday afternoon, the Ironmen coasted to a 7-3 decision over the Sailors. The Ironmen traded goals with the Hawks through regulation time. Aaron Armstrong opened the scoring for the Ironmen, with Brayden Pellett earning the assist. B. Rae tied the score for Mitchell. Drew Gross made it 2-1 in the second period with help from Armstrong and Travis Donaldson. N. Templeman tied the game for Mitchell. Dylan Williams gave Wingham a 3-2 advantage before the end of the second period. J. Ennet tied the game for Mitchell in the third period. At the three-minute mark of the five minute overtime period, Gross netted the winning tally. Wingham coach Russ Sutton said it was an excellent hockey game. “That was one of the best games we’ve played all year, actually,” he said. “We had to play defence and the offence part, but that was a hockey game.” He said the Ironmen started a bit quicker in the game against Mitchell two weeks previous. “Mitchell came to play hockey tonight,” he said, “They wanted to get back at us for the game that we had with them a couple of weeks ago. They dug deep and they wanted it just as bad.” Wingham was fortunate to get the winning goal by Drew Gross. Assistant captain Joey Terwoord said the Ironmen played a real good game. “We wanted to come in and get the two big points,” he said. “We did that. It was a bit scary near the end, we thought they might score, but in the end we pulled it out.” Terwoord agreed with the coach in that the Ironmen got off to a better start in the game two weeks previous. “I think we scored three times in the first five minutes and took right out of the game,” he said, “Tonight, we got off to a bit of a slow start, scored early, but kept letting them back in it and we didn’t capitalize (on our chances) when we had them.” In Kincardine on Saturday night, the Bulldogs took a 5-1 lead in the first period and then held off the Ironmen. Wingham outshot Kincardine 43-31 and were 0-7 on the power play. Armstrong scored two goals for the Ironmen and Justin Jacklin chipped in with one. Receiving one assist apiece were Donaldson, Terwoord, Blair Goss and Josh Stewart. Cody Britton had two goals for the Bulldogs. The Ironmen took a 4-0 lead on Sunday as they skated to a victory over Goderich. Armstrong paced the attack with two goals and two assists. Derek Elliott netted a pair of goals. Terwoord had a goal and an assist with single markers tallied by Jacklin and Williams. Drew Shantz received three assists with Matt McCracken, Goss and Donaldson picking up two helpers apiece. Receiving one assist each were Pellett and Brett Brophy. Jacob McDougall scored two goals for the Sailors. The Ironmen outshot the Sailors 37-25 and were 4-11 on the power play. The Ironmen play two games at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex this weekend. On Friday, they take on the Kincardine Bulldogs, beginning at 7:30 p.m. and then on Sunday they play the Mitchell Hawks, beginning at 4 p.m. Coming through The Wingham Ironmen hosted the Mitchell Hawks on Friday night.
