Novice Rep Sailors finish off the hockey season
March 13, 2009:  loss to Kincardine Kinucks 3-2

The Novice Rep Sailors hang up their skates for the season.

The Novice Rep Sailors finished their season on March 13, 2009 after losing in the consolation round to the Kincardine Kinucks 3-2.  It was a nail biter right down to the bitter end.  Matthew Bean scored the only 2 goals for the Sailors, with 2 assists awarded to Travis Sloan and an additional assist awarded to Kyle Stanbury.

During the season the Novice Sailors won 12 games, lost 29 and tied 4, which was a mighty feat for this young team.

Amongst the greatest accomplishments is when the Novice Rep Sailors won the championship in the Lucknow Lions tournament.

Defending the Sailors net during the season were Jacob Abbott and Kyle Prouse, each earning the honour of a shut-out during the season.  Other proud Sailors include:  Trent Buchanan, Bayden Parent, Travis Sloan, Kyle Stanbury, Matthew Bean, Carter Tomlinson, Brady Gerber, Josh Larkin, Josh Baker, Dwyer Brown, Nathan Erb, Mark Morris, Jackson Million and James Zolob.  Each Sailor contributed to the team’s success by skating hard, playing strong on their sticks, working as a team and most importantly playing for the love of the game.

I am sure in years to come you will see and hear many great things from this emerging group of young athletes.

Also to be acknowledged are the dedicated team staff consisting of:  Todd Larkin, Head Coach; Steve Morris, Assistant Coach; Dave Brown, Assistant Coach; Rob Sloan, Trainer and Vicky Parent, Manager.  Many other parents devoted time to teaching the boys on the ice as well.  Without the time and efforts of these individuals the boys would not have had the fun or developed the life-long friendships they did this hockey season.
