Storm Win “Friendly” Exhibition With Southwest Bullets In Glencoe
The Mooretown Storm took a day to get back to playing the
game of hockey for the fun of it and skated away with respect and a 1 goal win.
The Mooretown Storm and Southwest Bullets both played in the tournament in Seaforth last weekend and both looked to take a break from the pressure of winning to play a less pressured game that gave the coaches of both teams to spread the ice time around and try to achieve some personal goals. The Storm were also short on the bench missing Keaton Frayne, Braeden Hunt, Josh Raymond and Anthony Plain who made it to the arena but had no equipment. Coltan Beauvais would get the Storm off to a fast start as he scored just 11 seconds into the game on a low shot that was set up by Colton Williamson to make it 1-0. Meanwhile the Southwest coach would try to reward some of his hard working players with extra ice time and try to get a couple their first goal of the year. Dominic Aliperti would make it 2-0 on an unassisted goal with 6:53 left in the period. The Storm would make it 3-0 as Dallas Mesko would score on another set up by Colton Williamson with just .57 seconds remaining in the first. Southwest would start to get all of their lines involved more as the second period started and it was “Game ON”. Both Colin Gladwish and the Southwest goalie would be tested until with 4:44 left Southwest would see one of their players notch their first goal of the season to end Gladwish’s shut out bid and make it 3-1 on the power play as Colton Williamson was in the box for slashing. Southwest would make it 3-2 with 2:39 left as the Storm seemed to have a power outage on offense. The Third period saw each team trade chances as Dominic Aliperti would go to the box on back to back penalties followed by a too many men penalty which Josh Sterling serves but the penalty killers would kill off both the 5 on 4 and 5 on 3 deficits. The Coaches had a chance to talk and it was decided that the clock would be stopped since there was extra ice time to use so at the 6:00 mark the clock stopped. During that time Aliperti would score again unassisted and Colton Williamson would score from the point short handed with Dallas Mesko in the box. Williamson’s goal was set up by Nolan Johnston. Southwest would also score twice to make it 5-4. With the clock running again Southwest would tie the game 5-5 with 4:02 remaining setting up an exciting finish to the game. Josh Sterling would pot the game winner on a beautiful one timer at the face off dot set up by Dominic Aliperti to make the final 6-5. Both teams took time to shake after the game and wish each other luck with the rest of the Tri county playoffs. Once again Mooretown moved the puck well and played with great sportsmanship.
