Wallaceburg Lakers forward Matt Clark had an exceptional game, picking up a hat trick and an assist en route to the Lakers first victory.
In the opening frame, Wallaceburg looked destined to remain winless this season, falling behind 2-0 on Dresden goals by Derek Daly and Mike Myers.
The second period however, was a different story as the Wallaceburg Lakers came out firing with three unanswered goals from Trevor Waller, Mike Kindrachuk, and Matt Clark. Dresden answered back to tie the game on a goal by Derrick Van Every, but Clark would answer back with his second of the game before the period was out.
John Montgomery scored to tie the game 4-4 midway through the third period, but Wallaceburg wasn’t done, answering back with a goal from Jackson Gray, which would stand as the winner. Clark would finish his hat trick in the games final minute, scoring the insurance marker to finalize the 6-4 score.
The Lakers wore pink jerseys Wednesday, raising money for Breast Buddies in support of breast cancer. They also sold breast cancer t-shirts at the game.
Wallaceburg will take on the Alvinston Flyers Friday, while the Dresden Kings will host the Blenheim Blades.
maybe they should wear the pink all season seems to work for them
