Milton clinches first place in league with win over the Lightning
25 Jan 2010
Creative and consistent passing was the name of the game Monday night when the Winterhawks faced off against the Caledon Lightning. As a result the Hawks dominated the game with 31 shots on net and a 5-0 win.
The Hawks scored their first minutes into play when McDonald sent the puck straight to Evans deep in the Lightning’s zone. Evans fired it over to Harrison who had a clear opening. Kudos to the Caledon netminder who fought off the Hawks offence with some great saves throughout the game.
The constant barrage of shots finally got through and during the second Milton tallied two more points. At 7:22 Sharpe, standing firm at the blue line, sent the puck over to his line mate Di Biasio. He lobbed it to MacGregor who blasted it high past the keeper. One minute later Evans, Mulraney and Harrison kept the Lightning guessing with passes back and forth. Harrison spotted an opportunity and Milton was up 3-0.
In the final half of the third Dutton, Galarneau and Takeuchi brought the play firmly in the Caledon zone and began firing on net. Takeuchi pounced on the rebound and shot it past the goalie’s skate. MacGregor wrapped it up nicely with the 5th of the game from beautiful passes by Cunha and Michailoff.
Congratulations on your first place standing Milton!
