Sharks shutout Hawks at home

By Greg Coulter

WHEATLEY — The Wheatley Omstead Sharks gutted out another defensive gem with a 5-0 whitewash home win over the Wallaceburg Thunderhawks last Wednesday night.

Jackson Ford held the fort behind a smothering defence with a 16-save performance, while his teammates fired 40 shots at the opposition, chasing the beleaguered netminder midway through the third period.

Kristian Pelling opened the scoring five minutes into the game with Braedon Caetano jamming home a goalmouth pass at 19.55 of the second. Brett Thomas, Quinn Lenehan and Devin St. Pierre rounded out the scoring in the third period.

“Nice to see secondary scoring coming through for us again” said coach Josh Carnevale. “Goaltending and our defensive corps again played superb.”

The Sharks get a reprieve before playing four games in five nights this week.
