FLYERS — Continued from Page 25
The ensuing penalty carried over into the second period and at 58 seconds Connor MacPherson and Gavin Grundner laid the groundwork for Wyatt O’Neil’s powerplay tally. Two minutes later the Rockets knotted the score on Brandon Balasz’ bullet which hit the top corner. The Flyers’ big break came midway through the frame on another Rockets’ penalty. Colton O’Brien and Grundner shuffled the puck to Ryan MacPherson whose left lane screen shot handcuffed Brazeau and the Flyers had a 2-1 edge. On the heels of that powerplay marker, Andrew Uturo whipped a slick pass across the Rockets’ goal crease and Darby Lemieux redirected it into the net’s open right side. In the final 30 seconds of the second period, the Flyers went up 4-1 when Tuturo and Anthony Ciaramitaro set up Wyatt O’Neil’s second goal of the contest. The Rockets got the only goal of the third as Polidori stopped 21 shots for the
win while Brazeau halted 31. On Saturday in Strathroy the Flyers built an early 2-0 lead before the Rockets cut that margin in half. Leamington outskated and outhit their opposition and added a few goals despite the Rockets attempts to score as the latter stages became a rough affair. The final was 5-1 for the Flyers. Scoring for the Flyers were Grundner who potted two, Uturo, Jack Cotter and O’Brien. In Sunday’s afternoon’s contest, a smaller crowd of 563 watched as the Flyers fell behind 1-0, scoring five unanswered goals for the win. Connor MacPherson paced the club with two goals, while Grundner had one plus three helpers. Ryan MacPherson and Kale Couvillon netted one apiece. The two teams faced off in Strathroy Tuesday, April 12. A Strathroy win would push the series to game five in Leamington on Thursday at 7:10 pm. If Leamington gains the sweep, the Flyers will have a week off to prepare for their next opponent.

Groucho Marx - 3 years old. Welcome to You Bet Your Life. I’m your host, Groucho Marx and I have to say I’m less than happy to be where I am right now. But I suppose it’s better than the alternative. So, as I always say, “say the secret word and divide a $100. It’s a common word, something you find around the house.” Actually I don’t have $100, so you’ll have to settle for me. But look at me--that face, that famous ‘stache, how can you resist? Just so you know, I’m not gonna have anything to do with you at first. That’s right, just give me a small room with a few good hidey-boxes and let me settle in, rent-free of course. You can come into my room but don’t go all Chico on me, be like Harpo--silent. Let me get used to your presence and your smell before you try to touch me or I’ll disappear like Captain Spaulding on safari. Visit windsorhumane.org today to apply to adopt!

Gualtieri’s goals came from the sticks of Ian Faubert, Dylan Impens and Paul Omstead. The Gillett team got scoring from a number of players. Spencer Neufeld paced the attack with two, while Derrick Hutchins, Mitch Prudence, Eric Prudence, Marshall Fritsch, Brian Whaley and Calyn Kir netted one each.

REGIONAL — Two local curlers — both from Harrow — have made an impact on the national level as they prepare to represent Ontario next month. Skip Kyle Stratton and Second Matthew Pouget started curling at the Kingsville Curling Club after seeing the sport at the 2014 Olympic Games. After that, they joined the Sunparlour Curling Club where they continued to improve their skills with the support and encouragement of club members. The two local youths also belong to the London Curling Club, where they have formed a team under the tutelage of coach Tim Lindsay. Last week at the Royal Kingston Curling Club, Team Stratton took top honours and will represent Ontario at the national competition in May. The boys are sponsored by Atlas Tube, Patricia Pedreira and the Sunparlour Curling Club. From left are Coach Tim Lindsay, Kibo Mulima, Brayden Appleby, Matthew Pouget, Liam Tardif, Kyle Stratton. You can follow the team on Facebook and on Instagram at teamstrattoncurls. Photo submitted
