By Ryan Lamont
The Bruce County Physiotherapy Bantam A/E Storm played their first game of their W.O.A.A final with Goderich on Saturday in Goderich
The Storm found themselves down 1-0 less than one minute into the game after having a bad bounce end up in the Storm net. The Storm produced many chances to tie the game but were unable to produce a goal. The score remained 1-0 after the first period. Early in the second period, Ryan Crosetta passed the puck back to Justin Lamont at the point. Lamont took a slap shot in which Justin Grieg tipped in front of the net. Saugeen Shores had many other scoring chances to grab the lead. David McGinnis made great saves for the Storm to keep the game tied at 1. After two periods the score was still tied at 1. End to end action to start off the third gave both teams good scoring chances. Midway through the third period, Crosetta won a puck battle in the Goderich zone and passed the puck to Grieg in front of the net who made a nice cross ice pass to Jesse Cannon. Cannon beat the goaltender top shelf. In the last few minutes of the game, McGinnis made several great saves to kill of a late push by Goderich to win the game 2-1.
The Storm will go for the W.O.A.A championship title on home ice Friday at 9:00 in Southampton.
