Thunder Foreward Gavin Thompson scored a hattrick last night at Alcott to help the Minor Midgets earn their first win of the regular season 4-2 over Burlington.
The Thunder game out pressing from the opening faceoff with numerous scoring chances but nothing to show for it as an opportunistic Burlington team scored twice in just over a minute to take the wind out of the Thunder sails, and a 2-0 first period lead. That would be All Burlington would get on this night as Halton Hills goaltender Spencer Mcpherson shut the door stopping the Eagles final 20 shots earning the Victory.
Jon Bydevaate called up from Bantam AA assisted on the first three Halton Hills goals, and Jake Molinaro broke a 2-2 third period tie bringing the large crowd to it's feet.
The Thunder have a few days off before playing Brampton next Tuesday 9:00pm at Alcott.
After the game the team announced the final 2 assistant captains. Congratulations to Stephan Moneypenny and Dawson Lirette, along with already appointed Liam Burgoyne will assist Captain Andy Melo.
