Shooters Sports Photography Downs Tillsonburg
When Shooters Sports Photography visited the Tillsonburg midgets in their home town, November 12, 2015, almost the entire first period would expire without a goal. Then, during a power-play, Tillsonburg took advantage and beat Ingersoll's goalie with only 56.9 seconds left to play in the period.
In the early seconds of period two, however, Ingersoll's Hayden Homewood received assistance from Craig Wild and Josh Holmes, to score the tie goal.
Later on, at the four-minute mark of the same period, Craig Wild received the puck from Braeden McNeil, and performed some sweet moves. The Tillsonburg goalie saw Wild behind his net. The goalie prepared to meet him on the left, but Wild would pull a 180-degree switch-eroo, going back the other way and poking the puck home with a sweet wraparound goal into a large unguarded space in the right side of Tillsonburg's net, with Ingersoll taking the lead. (See both goals in the video hightlights below!)
Though there were penalties on both ends of the ice early on in the third period, both teams remained at full strength. Then a chance for Tillsonburg was shut down in a major defensive play when a Tillsonburg shot on Ingersoll's goalie, Brandon Baskette, resulted in a strong rebound. This chance for Tillsonburg was shut down with excellent handling - a great defensive play - by the defensive players of Shooters Sports Photography.
At just over the five minute mark, Tillsonburg gave Ingersoll a power-play. Ingersoll put crushing pressure on their opponents, though Tillsonburg had some great short-handed pressure of their own. Still, Tillsonburg seemed virtually impotent against Baskette's goal-tending.
With the clock moving ever toward zero, Tillsonburg pulled their goalie; but to no avail. Ingersoll would bring home a win with a final score of two to one over Tillsonburg.
