Hard Fought Loss!
MOORETOWN,ON--The Vipers lost a nail biter this morning by a score of 3-1 from the visiting Petrolia Grey team.

The Mooretown Storm couldn't buy a goal when they needed it today.  Several chances around the net were squashed with good goal-tending and strong puck work from Petrolia.  The Vipers carried the play for most of the game but fell short in the end.

The lone goal from our squad was scored by sensation Tyler Wilson. A botched 2 on 1 at the blueline featuring forwards Christian Musson and Tyler Wilson turned into a Wilson Breakaway that he made no mistake, firing the puck over the goalies blocker.  That goal narrowed the score to 2-1 but the Visitors cemented the victory mid-way through the 3rd.

Goaltender Nolan Beaudoin, breaking in some sick pads, made several stellar saves to keep the game close.  The entire team played well but the defensive play of Ryan Stewart was more than noticeable out there. Stewart made some great plays at both his and the Petrolia blue lines.

The coaching staff felt the boys played excellent.  It is sad to consider the season is almost over...great work Vipers!!
