Exciting Come Back Win For Pee Wee LL
The Mitchell Legion Branch 128 Pee Wee LL Meteors hosted the Drayton Defenders on Tuesday evening in Monkton. After trailing the entire game, the Meteors would have a big third period and end the game in dramatic fashion, with a last minute goal to take the win 4-3. 

Drayton would take an early lead in the game with 2 goals in the first period. The Meteors would get on the board early in the second after Preston Porter would get deep in the offensive zone and make a quick pass in front of the net to Sam Huettlin who would redirect the puck past the Drayton goalie. After back and forth play for the remaining minutes of the second period, the Defenders would manage one more goal to bring the score to 3-1 in their favour. 

The third period would be all Meteors, taking control with a quick goal by Liam Brodhagen on a hard shot from the point to bring the Meteors within one. The home team would keep working hard and pushing toward the net. With just under 7 minutes to go, the Meteors would tie the game at 3 after a scramble in front of the net. Porter would knock it in, with the assist going to Huettlin. Mitchell goalie Ethan Dearing would keep his team in the game coming up with a big save just a minute later as he shut down a break away, standing tall in perfect position to block the puck. With exactly one minute left on the clock, the Meteors would head up ice with a pass out of their zone by Blake Redfern up to Caleb Kay who would get into Drayton's end and fire a shot. It would be saved, but Preston Porter would push in to nail the rebound and beat the goalie with a winning shot, bringing the Mitchell fans to their feet.  

The Meteors will next face off with Central Perth in playoff action back in Monkton on Thursday evening.
