With a strong regular season record, the Sailors were grouped into
the top half of the playoffs, matching them up against some of the toughest teams
in their division. The boys
battled hard in the first two games against the Seaforth Stars, but even with a
valiant effort were unable to secure wins. The next tense battle with the Tiverton Thunder proved to be
a battle of the goalies, with some outstanding goaltending by Tom. Assisted by Ryan, Alex scored for the
Sailors – however, as much as the guys played a great game and pounded away at
Tiverton, the first game of this match-up ended in a tight 2-1 win for
Tiverton.
The boys played yet another tense and exciting playoff game against the Kincardine Kinucks #2 team. Going into the third period with a 0-0 game, Justin made a strategic pass in front of the Kincardine net to Alex who landed the only goal of the game and secured the victory for the Sailors! All the guys have been playing great hockey against some very formidable opponents – let’s keep it up Sailors!
