ONTARIO OPENS GOLD MEDAL DEFENSE WITH WIN
NANAIMO, BC – Three goals in the first period, three more in the second and two in the third added up to a
terrific start for Ontario in defense of its 2008 gold medal.
Ryan Spooner and Freddie Hamilton scored two goals apiece as Ontario opened its 2009 World Under-17 Hockey
Challenge with an 8-1 win over Atlantic in an all-Canadian match-up at Frank Crane Arena on Monday night.
John McFarland, Gregg Sutch, Jeff Skinner and Tyler Seguin also found the back of the net for the
defending champions, while Stephen Silas, Tyler Toffoli, Devante Smith-Pelly and Cody McNaughton added a pair
of assists each.
Brent Andrews had the only goal for Atlantic, who was outshot only 26-23 in the opening 40 minutes before
the Ontarians took control in the third period.
Ontario will enjoy an off day on Tuesday before returning to action on Wednesday afternoon at the Alberni
Valley Multiplex in Port Alberni against Russia (2 p.m. PST), while Atlantic will travel to Campbell River to
face the Russians on Tuesday (7 p.m. PST). |
