The Stars enjoyed a well deserved Thanksgiving Day break after two impressive wins over Belle River and Chatham. The Stars rallied from a 2 goal deficit against Southpoint, escaping with a 2-2 tie, after scoring two late third period goals. The Stars followed the Capitals, with a dominating 3-1 performance at Belle River against the previously unbeaten Canadiennes. Chatham was up next, and unfortunately for the Maroons, they ran into a red-hot Amherstburg team who controlled the tempo of the game at both ends of the ice, resulting in an impressive 5-1 victory.
The win against the Chatham squad catapulted the Stars into possession of first place in the Bluewater League. Up next for the Stars, are 2 road games Friday night against Southpoint, and Saturday night at Essex. We are back in town Sunday afternoon for a tilt against Erie Shores.
There is no rest for the Stars, as they will follow this weekend’s games with a Tuesday night affair at home against the Riverside Rangers.
