Schedule & Results, Bantam AE, U15, 2011-2012 (Petrolia Minor Hockey)

The Oilers took to the ice for the second time in as many nights in Ilderton to take on the Jets. The Oil dreamed of a little revenge for the one that slipped away in the season opener as in that game the score was tied 1-1 going into the final period before losing 4-1.This game would be different for sure. The Jets were extremely physical and this was a game with numerous penalties. Many head checks were called and a few were also missed.The 1st period was scoreless and very evenly played with both teams getting a few scoring chances.The second period saw Petrolia take the lead on a unusal goal scored by Brayden Hackett on a flip shot that bounced. A shot on net is never a bad idea.The Jets stormed back and took over the remainder of the second period and scored twice. The first goal coming shorthanded as Petrolia really struggled to move the puck with any authority and got trapped chasing in their own end until finally scored upon. The second goal was a zinger of a shot.Petrolia regrouped during the flood and came out and played an agressive 3rd period. The officiating crew decided to get very involved calling a ridiculous number of questionable calls that stalled any momentum generated. The game ended as usual in Ilderton with a curfew as this organization has difficulty figuring out how much time it takes to play a hockey game. That is the norm in this arena and happens each and every year. Thankyou once again for your support Jets.The Oilers will need to regroup and take what they have learned back onto the ice as they face Mt. Brydges for the 2nd time in the same week this Sunday back in P-Town. Good luck guys.
