In the last two weeks, the team has come together to shut out three different teams, Goderich, Minto and Wingham. What amazing team effort. Scoring has come from Brett Glousher, Dawson Peachey, Nic Zwep, Curtis Weber, Gavin Workman and Colton Walford, who scored his first-ever goal, to the screaming delight of his mom, who was working the clock that game. Assisting these players were Cameron Gauthier, Weber, Zwep, Dylan McNeil and even their goalie, Derrick Waechter. The defence are playing solid as well. Keep up the great teamwork. The boys have two scheduled games over the Christmas break.

Lightning post weekend wins The Saugeen Maitland Midget AA Lightning completed a four- point weekend with wins over the London Devilettes and the Sarnia Sting. Saturday the Bolts were home in Teeswater for another visit from the London Devilettes. The Lightning dominated from the opening face- off, handing the Devilettes a 3-1 loss. Kelly Gribbons opened the scoring on a low shot from a bad angle after a slick feed from Lexi Smith. Jordyn Sholdice also assisted. Smith then stuffed one in the short side with helpers from Gribbons and Cassidy Colhoun. Smith completed the three-point game with a great individual effort, scoring on her own rebound. Sunday the Lightning travelled to Sarnia to face the Western Division – leading Sarnia Sting. The Bolts showed their tougher side, refusing to back down from the gritty Sting and taking advantage of power play opportunities against the league leader in team penalty minutes. Colhoun scored the first of her two goals by getting the Sarnia goaltender moving in the wrong direction. Tori Terpstra and Gribbons earned assists. Ashlee Lawrence then scored a beauty short-handed tally on a breakaway after blocking a Sarnia point shot in her own end. Colhoun scored the eventual game winner, tipping in a Kailyn Soers point shot. Courtney Surridge won the face-off, drawing it back to Soers on the point. The final score was Lightning 3, Sting 2.
