Sharks split pair of games By Greg Coulter WHEATLEY — The Wheatley Omstead Sharks dominated another match over Petrolia at home, romping to an 8-0 home victory last Wednesday. They rolled to a 4-0 first period lead, added three in the second and managed a single marker in the third, while firing a whopping 20 shots at the beleaguered opposition netminder. The game ended with shots 43-13 in favour of the Sharks. Ethan Carlone returned from a stint with the LaSalle Vipers to post the shutout. Eleven players hit the scoresheet with Braedon Caetano’s two goals and two assists leading the way. Matt Carvalho had a goal and three helpers on the night. Dallas Anderson had two goals, with singles to Shannon Olson, Brett Thomas and Kristian Pelling. Caetano, Carvalho and Thomas earned stars of the game
honours. Saturday in Mooretown, the Sharks suffered from a couple bouts of inconsistency in absorbing a 7-4 loss. They kept the game close until midway through the second period, but couldn’t overcome a solid effort by the hosts. Dallas Anderson notched two with Matt Carvalho and Ryan Mucha adding singles. Ethan Handley had a busy night in net turning aside 39 shots with the Sharks firing 33 in a wide-open affair. Coach Josh Carnevale remains optimistic with the team’s effort. “The coaches have nothing but praise for the home effort,” he said. “Saturday the score did not give a true picture of the game. We showed a bit of undisciplined hockey in structure and penalty wise. You will pay for that against the top tier teams in the league.” “If we stick with our game plans for a full 60,
we’ve proven we can skate with the league’s best,” Carnevale added. They return to the ice for two key matches this week, Wednesday at home versus Amherstburg and Friday in Lakeshore. They close out the month at home on Wednesday, December 22 for Wheatley Area Public School night.
The Essex-Southpoint U10 hockey team made Christmas a little brighter for a local family this season. The team and their families generously donated multiple items including toys, clothes and housewares. The parents and coaches were proud of the kids for giving back to their community. The Capitals earned back-to-back wins against Erie North Shore on the weekend. Conner Blain led the first game with three goals, with Russell Colenutt and Edward Zieba assisting. With Keegan Pope in net, the Capitals held the Storm to just one goal late in the third to win 4-1. Despite the blustery weather on Saturday, the Capitals didn’t let the Storm rain on their parade. Christian Rutgers delivered a hattrick and forward Ben MacQuarrie added another goal with an assist from Asher Grossi to win the game 5-2. A combination of the team’s strong defensive core consisting of Brady George, Jackson Root, Ashton Drozdz, Russell Colenutt, Brody Church and Lyle Fleming, along with the top shut-down line of Jordyn Lefaive, Drake Pernal and Carter Demant, helped stop the Storm in their tracks. Sunday the team faced the Belle River Canadiens. The Caps came out strong in
