Sailors Sweep WOAA Round Robin Playoffs!!
March 3 – BCH Ice Dogs at Goderich Sailors.  The Sailors maintained their perfect playoffs record following an exhilarating 3-1 win over the BCH Ice Dogs – making it 8 straight wins!  The Ice Dogs were hungry for redemption and came out fighting – but the Sailors were pumped for the game and fought back hard.  Justin landed the first goal of the game at the 6:22 mark of the first period off a nice pass from Alex.  Going into the second period with a narrow lead, Justin landed his second of the game with a nice ‘5-hole’ goal off an assist from David.   Unfortunately, BCH narrowed the lead again near the end of the period on a power play goal to make it a tense 2-1 game.  

The Sailors returned after the intermission on a mission to take the game with sheer determination and teamwork.  Five minutes into the period, David made a nice puck steal from a BCH player and potted a well-placed shot to put the score to 3-1.  Alex, Tyler, Tristan, Lucas, David, Logan, Snowden and Christian all had many more chances during the last 10 minutes of the game trying to get a fourth comfort goal, but the strong goaltending of the BCH goalie held them off.  Despite several close chances, Justin’s hat trick also remained just out of reach – so Stacey’s bet with ‘The Beebs’ lives on!  Mike’s solid goaltending and the hard work of Nathan, Braeden, Rory and Josh on defense also repelled a number of close chances by the Ice Dogs.   While not in net for the game, Tom entertained everyone with his on-ice dance moves after the game! All the boys played at the top of their game throughout the playoffs and secured FIRST PLACE in the South Central WOAA Silver Flight Round Robin Playoffs - way to go Boys!  After the game, the coaches (and our very own firefighter, Gary) treated the boys to a much-deserved ride around the Square on the Goderich ladder truck and a pizza party.  Your coaches, parents and many fans are all very proud of you boys!  Let’s keep the momentum going for the next round!  Sweep Sailors Sweep!
