Bantams Shine in Pittsburgh
The Bantams took the ice, rushed to get dressed and played their best game of the tournament. Rob Sprankle started out the scoring at 8:51 left in the 1st period on an assist from Alex Aud and Michael Darges. A mere 45 second later, Trey Anderson buried the puck to give the team a 2-0 lead.
During the second period, the scoring continued with a goal with 3:05 left from Alex Grove and Ryan Steffens then at 1:48 left, Sam Rienhard found the twine from Sprankle. The team scored again, scoring more in this game than they had the rest of the trip. Alex Aud scored with 3:38 to go in the game with assists from Grove and Anderson. The game ended in regulation 5-5 and went to sudden death overtime where the time passed with no one scoring, though both teams had chances to finish in overtime.
With the game tied, it was time a 3 man shoot out. After three shooters, it was still tied and time for a Sudden Death shoot out. Bret Bischler scored first in Sudden Death. Then goalie Kenny McCarthy came up with a huge save to give the team an 8-7 final victory.

Bantam Update
The Bantam team battled hard, after coming off of two losses, 5-1 to Trenton and 6-0 to Cambridge. During the 2nd game against Cambridge, Carolina netted the first goal with 13:21 to go in the first period on a goal by Sam Meaux from Rob Sprankle. 12 seconds later, Braden Taylor playing with a lower body injury, found the twine from Alex Grove.
The Hawks put in 3 unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead into the period break. Then 1:40 into the 2nd period, Trey Anderson beat the goalie to knot the game at 3-3. He was assisted on the play by Alex Aud and Michael Farmer. The rest of the period was intense. Goalie Grant “Sunshine” Laughrey made several key saves, including enduring a 6 on 5 for the final minute as the Hawk coach went for the win.
The players arrived at the rink Sunday morning from their host families, ready to play their 9am game. The game was hard fought. The Hawks started the scoring e
arly to take a 1-0 lead. They played to a tight 2nd period and the score went into the third period at 1-0 against a faster Hawks team. About midway through the 3rd period, Ryan Steffens blasted a low hard shot from the point that found the back of the net due in part to a great screen by the Lightning forwards. Grant Laughrey had another outstanding game in net.
The team then boarded the buses for a day in Toronto and Niagara Falls.
