It took a while for the Ironmen to get rolling. The first period was scoreless, although the Patriots outshot the host Wingham squad, 12-9. There was no scoring in the second period until 17:25 when Dylan Hoffman tallied a goal for Mount Forest. Wingham held a slight edge in the shot department, outshooting the Patriots 9-8. Tyler Kellum knotted the game at one at 1:38 of the third period. Adam Corbett assisted. Wade Stephenson netted what proved to be the winning marker at 9:16 as he redirected a shot from the point by Brett Brophy. Cory MacDonald then added an insurance marker at 14:42, with Jakob Robb earning the assist. Brandon MacDonald picked up the win in the Wingham net. Ironmen coach Chad Haggitt said it was quite the interesting way to win the game. He said that during the second intermission, he told the players to remain calm. He noted they had began to panic in the second period because they were getting frustrated. “I told them to play our game” he said. “I told them to play our game and things would begin to happen.” According to Haggitt, the Ironmen were able to play their game in the third period instead of the Mount Forest game. “Our players had a problem getting going in the game, but they were able to turn it around in the third period,” said the coach. Defenceman Colin Whitfield of Blyth said it was a tougher game for the Ironmen than they expected. “Mount Forest is a hard-working team and they have some speed,” he said. He said the game plan for the defence was to just get control of the puck and then get it out across the blueline. “We just wanted to move the puck and if we got in trouble shoot it high off the glass,” he said. Whitfield said they altered their game plan in the third period, by playing the Ironmen game. “We knew the offence would come if we could get the first one,” he said. “We got the first one we got on a roll.” The Ironmen have just a single game this week, and it’s on the road. The Ironmen travel to Mitchell on Saturday for a 7:15 p.m. contest against the Hawks. Ironmen edge out Patriots, maintain second in standings Crashing the net The Wingham Ironmen were able to solidify their second place standings in the division with a win over the Mount Forest Patriots over the weekend.
