But from that point until late in the game the Hawks were in a real battle with the Griffins and only a determined effort from Creasor, who scored five goals, and a good defensive effort from Dalton Boothby, made it possible.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville trailed 4-2 after the first period and 7-6 after 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Vangelder of the Hawks, who scored once in the second period, was given a game misconduct as the period ended after engaging in a fight in what had become a chippy game.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Drinkwater and Devon Blunt picked up the slack, scoring two goals each. Cole Hanrahan added a single. Three goals in just over six minutes in the third period by Creasor and Blunt turned the game in Huntsville\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Pelletier played in goal for the Hawks, only his second game with the club. His debut came Thursday night against the Clarington Shamrox where he played well but the team was outplayed and outscored 15-5. Coach Don Monahan said Pelletier is their number one goaltender for now. \u201cWe put him in because we wanted to win,\u201d he said. \u201cHe stood up for us. He stood on his head as he did in the game with Clarington.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>We had to work hard for the win. The boys came together and stayed out of the penalty box and they got rewarded for it.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Coach Don Monahan<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dalton Boothby was awarded the team\u2019s Ironman award for his defensive play against Gloucester\u2019s top scorer, Hayden Cummings. \u201cDalton maintained him throughout the whole game,\u201d said Monahan, \u201cand he didn\u2019t score in that third period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-31090\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/IMG_2698-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/IMG_2698-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/IMG_2698.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Offensively the story of the night was Caleb Creasor\u2019s five goals. \u201cCaleb is always competitive,\u201d said Monahan. \u201cHe always gives 100 per cent when he is out there. He had a couple of goals where he just dangled the goalie and the goalie\u2019s jock strap was down by his ankles. He\u2019s double covered a lot of the time and that means someone else is open and that\u2019s good too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creasor came out of the dressing room happy with his performance. \u201cI made the most of my chances,\u201d he said, \u201cand we pulled together in the third period. I was just driving the net trying for the open space and faking the goalie and burying the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the game coach Monahan held a team meeting which he said may have influenced the win. While it was a private discussion with his players he said it focused on the role of everyone on the floor and the need for the experienced players to encourage and back up the newer ones.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville now has a 1-5 record and their next home game is Saturday May 27 against Cornwall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
