Game 1 of the Post Season
After clinching a berth in the Post Season, Team 3 would take Home Ice and play against the visiting West Lorne Comets Gold Team.

The Postma Heating and Cooling sponsored Team 3 would play another solid 3 period game in front of an almost sold out home opener. Daniel Rodger was the Master of the Twine as he made a lot of key saves early in the game to keep it scoreless after the 1st period. Cooper Minnie and Liam Davies had another solid game on the defensive side of the puck matching the speed of the attacking forwards and keeping them to the outside. Jack Tinline and Conner" Worker of the Game" Lackie would take turns rushing the puck all game and hem West Lorne in their Zone for lengthy shifts. Eric Romano and Ashton Clark would flank the wings and helped Jackson Kalp as the trio would cycle the puck down low. Aidan "Offensive Player of the Game" Barnes had his best game as a Lightning as he had great control of the puck getting out of the D-zone and into the O-Zone with wingers Carter Barnes and Trenton DeCook. Liam Davies would take a good penalty in the 2nd and that's when our PK specialist kept the streak going. Jacob Hamilton, Devin Lackie, Aidan Osborne and Carsen Sipple did what they have been doing for the past 8 games, controlling the puck and clearing the zone while working on quick shifts to keep their legs fresh for the PK and not allowing a goal against in the past 8 games. Sipple was a beast out there back checking on every shift as he gets ready to make the jump next year into the Peewee division. Tinline would score the lone goal as Conner and Jackson would pick up the assist. The team would drop their first game of the Playoffs 5-1. The team looks to even up the Home and Home series as they head to West Lorne on February 6th.
