Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings News Release


Jamestown, NY- The Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings got goals from their two leading scorers, Luc Boby and Robbie Payne, but they weren't enough to lead Kalamazoo to victory, as they dropped Saturday's contest at the hands of the Jamestown Ironmen by a score of 7-3.

After going over seventy-five minutes without a goal, dating back to October 14th, the Jr. K-Wings struck first in Saturday's contest. Six minutes into the opening period. Patrick Spellacy had the puck between the tops of the circles, and had plenty of time to rip a shot that passed Jamestown goalie, Reed Mimmack.

Quickly responding for the Ironmen was Elliot Tisdale. He was able to slap home a rebound opportunity off a shot from the left-side point by Mitch Hall. The second goal of the season by Tisdale was able to lock the game at one goal apiece.

During the early stages of the second period, Jamestown sprung out to their first lead of the game. Scoring on a slap shot off a face-off in the attacking zone was Dan Cesarz (6th), who picked up his third point in two games against his former team.

Just a few minutes later, Kalamazoo was able to tie the game with a power play tally by Payne. Payne camped out on the backside of the goal and got a back door pass from Josh Dangel to bury his ninth goal of the season.

Just thirty-six seconds later, it would be the Ironmen regaining a one goal lead. This time it was Ross Pavek who was able to beat Alex Okicki for his fourth of the season.

Adding to a thrilling second period was Boby. Off a face-off along the left wing side in the Jamestown zone, Boby scampered on a loose puck and shot it past Mimmack for his team leading 10th goal of the campaign.

Scoring the third goal of the period for the Jamestown Ironmen was Payden Mielke. His first of the season came from a wrist shot that was taken from the right-side point. The goal gave Jamestown a 4-3 advantage, and was the seventh lead change of the game.

Only fifteen seconds had elapsed in the third period before the Ironmen were able to extend their lead to two. Notching a power play tally was Dylan Zink (5th), making the score 5-3.

Only 29 seconds after the Zink goal, Jamestown was able to take a three-goal lead. Netting his second of the season for the Ironmen was Kyle Urso.

Putting the finishing touches on a remarkable run of scoring in the first 2:19 of the third period was Tyler Dunagen, who tallied his fifth of the season, giving his team a 7-4 lead. The goal would be the last for Okicki, who was pulled for Nick Stuart after giving up seven goals on 37 shots.

In the decisive four-goal victory, the Ironmen outshot the Jr. K-Wings by a total of 48-23.
