The Pontiac Midget Lions teams won one game and lost one on Saturday as the Midget B team . . .
fell to the Frontaliers de Hull and the Midget A team picked up the win over the Loups Collines.
The Midget B Lions were the first to hit the ice and faced an uphill battle all game against a quick Hull team.
The Frontaliers jumped out to an early lead when they snuck one past Pontiac goalie Wyatt Durocher.
While Hull continued to press, Durocher held firm turning away a number of chances as the first period came to a close.
When the second opened up, it was more of the same as Hull got another two quick goals just under four minutes into the frame.
The Frontaliers added one more in the third and played a tight defensive game – helping goaltender Alexis Pouliot to the shutout.
Next up was the Midget A Lions, who also found themselves in an early hole as Collines opened the scoring just over six minutes into the game and took the lead into the second period.
A tight checking period saw little scoring until the Lions found the back of the net in quick succession on back-to-back goals from Dannik Laroche just 14 seconds apart.
The Lions then locked down their defensive game while adding one more goal and keeping Collines off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game.
When the buzzer sounded, the Midget A Lions had earned a 3-1 win.
