Kinucks in their final and most exciting game of the round robin playoffs. The two teams were evenly matched, with
the first period ending scoreless despite a number of chances on both
sides. In the second period the
Kinucks were able to land two goals and go ahead with a 2-0 lead. The Sailors fought back in the third
period and played superb hockey with Ryan potting a breakaway goal off a nice
pass from Teethal to make it a close 2-1 game. With less than 2 minutes on the clock, Adrien secured the
tie with a nice shot on a breakaway from a set-up by Jack and Ryan.

March 3 – Goderich
Sailors at Tiverton Thunder. After a couple of tough loses to BCH and Tiverton, the
chance to move on in the playoffs for the Sailors was just out of their
reach. So - with nothing to lose,
the coaches made a great decision to have a fun reversal of roles game. With the forward lines playing defense
and the defensive lines playing offense, the kids had a blast and actually
played a really strong game in their second match against the Tiverton Thunder! Teethal got things going for the
Sailors with a nice breakaway goal at the 7:58 mark of the first period. The Thunder then got 2 quick goals on
Goderich to make it 2-1 in their favour at the end of the period.
