U15 REP Playdowns Game 7 vrs Storm
Tuesday February 28th, 2023 the Scotia Bank Mitchell Meteors welcomed the Saugeen Shore Storm for their second match-up of the playdowns.  The Storm, currently leading the Cruickshank divison playdowns with 7 wins and 1 loss, which includes a win over Mitchell in Port Elgin by a score of 3 to 1. 

The Meteors came out ready to play this game and put together their best game of the playdowns to date.  The Meteors played hard from start to finish, sticking to the game plan, they battled through each period.  This game could have truly gone either way with everyone doing their part.  
In the first period, Landon Van Bakel (Unassisted) would strike early for the Meteors at 13:54, with his quick release and hard shot.  However, not even a minute later the Storm would tie the game up in the first to end the period tied 1 to 1.
The second period would see continued strong play from both teams, but when the Meteors went down a man on the penalty kill, the Storm was too much and they would score the game winning goal at 10:45.
The third period would see more sustained pressure by Mitchell, backed by excellent goal tending from Aiden McCann right down to the last play where they executed the last draw to get a quality goal scoring shot on net.

The Meteors will travel to Kincardine on Saturday March 4th, 2023 for a match at 4:45pm at the Davidson Center against the Kinucks.
