2nd Series Lead for Wasaga Stars
Hey....are those two brothers?
It couldn't be more evident that the Collins boys have spent a lot of their lives playing hockey together as today the senior welcomed the rookie back to the forward line of the Wasaga Stars. Owen, playing the wing tonight, lined up 3 goals. Marcus added a goal and 3 assists to help the Stars win the first game of a best of 5 series against the Durham Crusaders.
It didn't take long for the Crusaders to know they were up against some skilled shooters. Early in the game Riley blasted a slapshot into the crossbar from the blue line, and soon landed the puck behind the goaltender for one of two goals tonight. With Evan, Haydn and Matthew adding assists, the forward crew worked hard and battled end to end to finish off the game with a 7-2 victory.
Excellent defense and goaltending made for a tough game for the Durham team, with emotions running high and many penalties for both teams.
This series is bound to be a very exciting one as the tenacious Durham team had many chances tonight and will be looking to capitalize on them next time when the Stars travel south for the next game.
Go Stars!
