Weekend Notes: Sun County Panthers

Training Camp Scrimmages ended Sunday with two weekend games against the Sun County Panthers Minor Midget. Belle Tire won the first game 5-2 and lost the second game 6-4.

The Belle Tire attack was led by the combination of Center Alex Frere (3g /1a) and Left Wing DJ Hastings (1g / 3a) who combined for 4 goals and 4 assists on the weekend.

Coaches selected Cody Donnay and Chris Barile as the best defensively amongst defensemen. While Rodney Lalonde tallied 3 assists on the weekend.

The 2007-2008 Sun County Panthers Minor Midgets will be a force this season in Hockey Alliance and figure to be a top 10 team in the province of Ontario. Veteran Sun County Minor Midget Head Coach Tony Ciampa has made major additions to last seasons group of Sun County 92's and not only considers this year's Minor Midget team to be his best in the last 5 years but potentially the best Minor Midget team that he has had at Sun County.

Sun county is led by forward Dylan Impens who is projected to be a top two round OHL draft selection along with standout defensemen Mitch Dunning and one of Ontario's top 93 birthdates in forward Matt Puempel.

Those who play this team down the road this season can expect to face a fast and physical team which plays with a swagger and confidence. Hockey Alliance should be a very close two horse race this season between Sun County and Elgin-Middlesex for the league title.
