Lancers battle the Ice Cats to 4-4 draw on home ice
On Tuesday night the Glencoe Ice Cats rolled into town to face the Lambeth Lancer Peewees. For the second straight game the Lancers would put up 40+ shots, 43 in total, to again show that these Lancers have a lot of firepower. Lambeth again started strong and would dominate the Ice Dogs right from the opening faceoff.

But once again it was the opponents scoring first on an unlucky bounce at the far blue line that led to a 2 on 0 break, with Rowe coming up with the first save but unable to stop the second. Lambeth wouldn't take long to respond as less than a minute later Faragher put a perfect cross-ice pass on to Zimmer's stick sending him in alone on a breakaway and he would make no mistake finding the top corner short side to tie the game at 1 a piece. The Ice Cats would score the next 2 and take a demanding 3-1 lead before Lambeth got back on track, scoring the next 3, with Panziera starting things off by splitting the defence and streaking to the goal before turning the goalie inside out and upside down then slipping the puck gently to the back of the goal to make it a 3-2 game. Joel Stenning would then jump on a rebound midway through the third and fire it home to tie things up again at 3. It would only be less than a minute later when Faragher picked up a neat back hand pass from Mazzilli and made a shifty move around the last D and the Glencoe goalie to give Lambeth their first lead of the game. Glencoe managed to tie the game with their goalie pulled on a scramble out front of the Lancer net with just 43 seconds remaining and the game would end 4-4.

The entire team continues to improve with their positional play in our own end, and the passing in the offensive zone was exceptional as time after time one touch passes turned into scoring opportunities. With hard work and continued effort and work ethic by all we will be successful this year.

Keep working hard kids and playing as a team and the results will take care of themselves!!
