Over a busy weekend the Prestige Construction Midget Kings picked up five of a possible six points in league play. On Friday night they were in Amherstview to face the Jets and came away with a 2-2 tie on goals by Tyler Philip and Brad Reid. Seth VanVlack (2) and Robert Stapely collected the assists while Brad Wells protected the King’s crease.
On Saturday night the Kings hosted Frontenac in Picton and with the help of four APs including three Bantam-aged players, they recorded their first league win of the season, handing the Flyers a 5-3 loss. Philip had big night with the hat-trick and a helper while Tyler Allison was the set-up man with three assists. The other Kings goals were scored by Ben Wilson and Stapely with assists going to Gavin Ronan, Stapely and Jake Staley. Bantam goalie Kevin Wilson had a strong game in the Kings cage for the win.
It was back to Amherstview on Sunday for a rematch with the Jets. VanVlack scored twice in the second period to give the Kings a 2-1 lead heading into the final frame. Stapely scored at 12:55 to give the Kings a 3-1 lead but it wouldn’t last long as the home squad made it 3-2 just thirty seconds later and then tied things up at three with 8:05 on the clock. It looked like the Kings would have to settle for another tie until Philip scored on a feed from Dallas Hunter with just 0:42 left in the game. Hunter added an empty-netter before the buzzer to nail down the 5-3 win. Other assists on Kings goals went to Scott McQuaid, Brock Nowack and Stapley while Wells collected the win in net.
The Midget Kings next home game is Friday night at 7:00 in Wellington versus the Frontenac Flyers.
