Sailors Duke It Out in Dorchester
November 4-6: Dorchester Tournament.  The Sailors had their work cut out for them at the annual Novice Tournament in Dorchester - going up against some of the strongest teams in the region.  After a tough loss to the infamously talented Alymer Flames on Friday, the Sailors came out fighting in the next two games against Dorchester and Oakridge.  After a difficult game with Dorchester, the Sailors fought hard and only lost by one goal to Oakridge.  Considering that Alymer only beat Oakridge by one goal, this close 6-5 game showed the perseverance of the kids right up to the last minute of the game!  

All the kids all played well throughout the tournament with great offense and superb defense - with goals and assists of the tournament going to Jack, Joseph, Cody, Caleb, Remi and Paige.  The star player of the tournament was Grayson, with awesome goaltending that shutdown numerous attempts by the opposing teams.  Even when down by a few goals, the kids never stopped trying and digging – your coaches and parents are all very proud of you.  Way to go Sailors!
