TIGERS CLAW BACK TO TIE GAME 1, BRIAN STEELE MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

The Tigers 1st goal of the game was scored by Ryan Johnston who out hustled the entire Royals defense and crashed the net, resulting in the puck ricocheting off himself and several Royals defenders. Unfortunately the Royals responded with a goal of their own in less then 1 minute. Tiger goaltender Connor Clark was outstanding from the 1st drop of the the puck and kept the Tigers in the game through the 1st period.

After trading goals in the second period the Toronto Royals scored two quick ones to take a 3-1 lead. The Tigers faced numerous shorthanded situations but persevered and held off the Royals power-play which set the tone for the comeback. On the power play Mark Shiozaki fired a low cannon from the right point and scored to make the score 3-2.

With the momentum now swinging in favour of the Tigers they mounted a ruthless attack on the Royals. A wild scramble in front of the net ended up with a masterful wrap around by Nick Wallace. This completed the well deserved comeback and they now look forward to their next game against the York Toros on Saturday @ 12:10pm at the Vaughan Sports Village.
