Sting Have Tough Opening Weekend
The Sarnia Sting opened the 2003-04 season with a pair of tough losses.
The toughest of the two coming Saturday night when with 12 seconds remaining in regulation the Petes with the goaltender pulled for an extra attacker crashed the net and were rewarded with the tally to tie the game.
Patrick Kaleta then ended the game just 24 seconds into the overtime period ending a tough weekend for the Sting.
The Sting were also on the heels of a tough loss to the Oshawa Generals from Friday.
The Generals who had a terrific 3-0 start to the season scored a third period goal to down the Sting 3-2 in the season opener.
On a positive note a pair of Sting players notched their first career goals on the weekend. Forward Kelsey Wilson playing in his first OHL game fired home a wrist shot for his milestone, and then on Saturday Jeff Whitfield fired home a slapshot from the point to get his first goal in his OHL career.
The Sting look to rebound this weekend when they take on Owen Sound Friday at the SSEC and then travel to Saginaw on Sunday to take on the Spirit.
