The Midget A Lions had a busy weekend at home, playing both Saturday and Sunday.
Their first match up was against the Aylmer Vikings. Although the Vikings made it tough, the Lions came away with a 2-0 win. Goals were scored by Evan Atkinson and Carson Rusenstrom with assists coming from Tyler Stanton, Thomas Beck, Atkinson and Cole Sheppard.
On Sunday, the Lions met the second place Loups Collines. It was a fast paced, adrenaline filled match up. The Loups scored early to take a 2-0 lead after the first.

Lions goalie Kaelen Ireland was able to shut them out for the next two periods and the Lions managed to squeak two in tying the game 2-2. Goals went to Thomas Beck with help from Willis Egan and Ryan Lang and Jaden Stewart got the tying goal unassisted after a scramble in front of the net.
The Midget As are back at home Dec. 22 for their last game before the holiday break. Puck drops at 4:30 against the Gatineau Draveurs.
