Midgets look to even score Saturday in Wellington

The Prestige Contractors Midget Kings hosted Frontenac in Wellington on Friday night and came away with a 3-1 win on goals by Tyler Philip (2) and Scott McQuaid.  McQuaid also picked up two assists with Riley Greer collecting the other helper on the game sheet.  Alex Ward showed no signs of rust as he returned to the Kings line-up and picked up the win in net.

On Saturday night the Kings travelled to Piccadilly for the other half of the home-and-home series with the Flyers.  Despite the road crew dominating play and with strong goaltending from Brad Wells it was Frontenac who scored first, mid-way through period one.  The Kings tied things up at 12:49 of the second frame when Seth VanVlack put away a feed from Brad Reid.  Frontenac replied to take a 2-1 lead into the intermission but at 10:42 of the third, Bryce Vangrootheest’s point shot from Bob Wilson and VanVlack made it 2-2.  Frontenac scored at 6:49 and added an empty-netter to take a 4-2 win away from a Kings team who outplayed them for most of the game.

The Midgets will have a chance for revenge when Frontenac visits Wellington on Saturday night at 8:30.
