Aggressive Game vs. Ice Dogs Ends in Tie
After an animated and penalty-ridden game against BCH in early November, the Sailors wanted to once again work hard and put their best foot forward when they met in Clinton on November 29.
The Sailors exerted great pressure right from the get-go, and kept the action in the Ice Dog territory for most of the period. Netminder Jordan Johnston helped keep it a low-scoring game with a solid performance between the pipes. Mykal Hodges scored first for the Sailors, from Kody Langlois, at 8:46 to put his team ahead 1-0. Five minutes later the Ice Dogs were able to tie it up, 1-1. Penalties were aplenty once more as the two teams ramped up their excitement. At 4:34, BCH managed to go ahead on an unfortunate 5 on 3, 2-1 Ice Dogs. Hodges scored from Kyle Langlois shorthanded a few minutes later to even things out again, 2-2. Then Steve De Jager with an unassisted backhand put the Sailors on top 3-2. Right before the end of the second period, BCH tied it up again on another 5 on 3 opportunity. Only a few minutes of the third period were played when the game was called on account of curfew. The game ended in a 3-3 tie, but both teams were wishing they could've seen it through to the end.
