Awesome Season Capped with WOAA Silver Championship!
After a well-deserved break, the Sailors finally learned that their opponent for the WOAA Central-South Playoffs Championship would be the formidable Kincardine Kinucks.  With 4 players at 6’ feet tall, the Kinucks were an intimidating looking team to say the least – but that didn’t stop the boys from ‘playing their game’ and giving the Kinucks a run for their money.  In a best two out of three series, the two teams provided their fans with some heart-pounding excitement with two very close 2-1 games.  Considering the caliber and size of their opponent, all the boys played great and hustled and worked hard from start to finish.  

Both goals of the series went to Justin, with significant support from his offensive teammates with the assists going to Alex, David and Snowden.  Along with these guys, the strong offensive play of the other Sailors - Logan, Lucas, Tristan, Christian and Tyler also provided Goderich with multiple scoring chances with a 4-1 shots on net ratio over Kincardine in both games.  Nevertheless, the “6 foot wall” of defensive and strong goaltending of the Kinucks still managed to repel the Sailors.  The defensive lines of Nathan, Josh, Rory and Braeden put up a wall of their own, forcing the Kinucks out of the Goderich end zone over and over throughout the series.  Tom and Mike were outstanding in net and both made some spectacular saves to contribute to such close scores.  All in all the final playoffs series was evidence of the character and skills development of each and every player this season, along with the efforts of the coaching staff.   

After sweeping the WOAA Round Robin Playoffs with eight straight wins, the boys also hoisted the Young Canada Week Consolation Championship banner into history at the MRC.  The boys have now added one more medal and honour to their season as the official 2012-13 Central-South WOAA Silver Champions!  These three significant accomplishments built on an already solid season giving the Sailors one of the best 2012-13 team records in Goderich.   

A big thank-you goes to the coaches, Josh, Brad, Kevin, Stacey and Tyler for their dedication in coaching the boys to such a great season!  A special thanks also goes to Dawn as Team Manager for keeping us all organized!  Thanks also to the other parent volunteers - and moms, dads and grandparents for getting the boys to the rink on time all season!  

The best thing about any hockey season is the fun and the memories – and the boys certainly got both this year (friendships, banners, medals, a fire truck ride and more!)  Your coaches, parents and many other fans are all very proud of you boys!  See you next season!
