Thunder - Storm Rivalry Heats Up, News, PeeWee Girls, 09-10 (Saugeen Shores Minor Hockey)

Monday’s game remained tied 0 – 0 until the third period despite great scoring opportunities for both sides. A series of superb early shifts had the Storm forward lines unabashedly buzzing the Thunder net, with Teaghan Johnston finally scoring unassisted two minutes in.

Tiverton tied the game 1 - 1 midway through the period, but Olivia Osborne (assisted by Alexis Martin) scored the winner for the Storm less than two minutes later with five minutes remaining.

The game was also highlighted by some solid defensive play by the pairing of Emma DeBoer and Zainab Shiekh as well as the now familiar goaltending prowess of Erica Parker, who stopped a three on one opportunity late in the game.

Players and fans on both sides are excited about the rivalry that’s developing between the two teams and it’s hoped that at least a couple of more games can be arranged for later in the season.  One Tiverton fan was quoted as saying “We love playing you guys … the games are always exciting”.
