WEEK IN REVIEW
Wednesday, December 7th vs. Hershey Bears, 4-1 L - The Sound Tigers hosted Hershey at 11 a.m. in their third-annual, educationally-themed "Cool Fun 101" morning game. JEFF HAMILTON extended a point streak to four games and a goal streak to three while JEREMY COLLITON extended an assist streak to five games and a point streak to six for the Sound Tigers, but ERIC FEHR scored a pair of third-period goals for the Bears to seal the 4-1 victory.
Friday, December 9th at Norfolk Admirals, 5-2 L - JEFF HAMILTON scored twice to push his goal and point streaks to four and five games, but Norfolk never surrendered a lead it built with a trio of early, first-period goals en route to the 5-2 win.
Saturday, December 10th at Hershey Bears, 4-1 L - G WADE DUBIELEWICZ kept the Sound Tigers perfect all-time against opposition penalty shots stopping two in the second period, denying Hershey's leading scorer ERIC FEHR early in the frame and BROOKS LAICH late. STEVE REGIER made it a close contest with a five-on-three, power-play goal early in the third period, but the Bears tallied twice in the final two-plus minutes for the 4-1 decision.
Sunday, December 11th at Hershey Bears, 4-2 L - WADE DUBIELEWICZ earned one of the stars of the game with a stellar, 32-save effort while STEVE REGIER and SEAN BERGENHEIM scored in a 1:17 span early in the middle frame for the Sound Tigers, but CHRIS BOURQUE, son of the former NHL'er RAY BOURQUE, zipped home the eventual game-winner 1:27 into the third period as Hershey won the fourth meeting of the teams in a 12-day span.
