The Jim Wilson Rama Aces of the Greater Metro Hockey Junior A League started a new win streak on the weekend with a pair of victories.

The Aces, who had their five-game winning streak snapped last Wednesday, when they dropped an 8-5 road decision to the Bradford Bulls, took their frustration out on the Powassan Eagles and the Lefroy Wave with back-to-back lopsided wins.

On Saturday night in Powassan, the first-year club registered an 8-3 victory over the Eagles, then improved their record to 7-2 on home ice Sunday with a 7-1 thrashing of the Wave at the Rama MASK.

Despite the pair of wins, Aces head coach Scott Jackson wasn’t pleased with the slow start of his club through all three games last week.

“We’re playing to the other team’s level and we’re not going to be successful if we keep doing this,” said Jackson. “We’re playing sloppy hockey right now and we need to get back to playing our game.”

“In Powassan, we were sluggish and it took us to the third to do anything, and in Bradford, we were just flat,” said Jackson. “It’s all about intensity and execution.”

The Aces’ win Sunday was their fifth straight on home ice.

Steven Rigutto beat Aces netminder Colton Bache to open the scoring for Lefroy (1-6) at the 4:25 mark of the opening stanza, but that was it for the visitors, as Rama knotted the count before the end of the period, took the lead with a single tally in the middle stanza, then broke the game wide open with five unanswered third-period markers.

Defenceman Troy Gunner had a big offensive game for the Aces. He scored three times and added an assist.

Ricky Darrell, Brandon Shaw, Gavin McAughey and Cory Naughton had the other markers for the winners. Tully Jackson chipped in with three assists, while Ty Watt and James Ellenor had two helpers each.

Rama outshot the visitors 61-42 in the contest.

The Aces play just one game this week, but it is a big one as they put their perfect home record on the line Friday night, when they welcome the undefeated Bradford Rattlers (9-0) to town. Game time at the MASK is 7:30 p.m.
