Novice LL1, U8, 2013-2014 (Goderich Minor Hockey)

It was a busy weekend for the sailors with back to back games on March 1st & 2nd. On Saturday, the team travelled to Clinton for a hard fought game against the Ice Dogs. Outstanding performance by goalie Jakob to hold a shutout until 8:32 in the 3rd when Clinton found the mark. The Sailors pulled out all the stops and pulled the goalie but their many great chances, could not slip the puck in the Ice Dog’s net.

The Sailors hosted the BCH Ice Dogs on Feb. 18. The first period was action packed with neither team being able to get one between the pipes. Finally, with 2 minutes remaining in the 2nd, Logan assisted by J’Kaede and Mason put us on the board. The third period BCH answered back with 2 quick goals and despite pulling out all the stops we just couldn’t get another one to tie up the game. Jakob played a fantastic game in net. Our last home game of the WOAA first round is Saturday February 22nd vs Mitchell at the YMCA. Come out and support your Sailors!

The Novice LL Garb and Gear Sailors started off their round robin playoffs on Saturday January 15th hosting the Wingham Ironmen. Kael, assisted by Nolan, opened up the scoring with just a little over a minute left in the first to put us in the lead going into the second. The second period Wingham answered back 2 minutes in to tie up the game. Kael, off the face-off, scored his second of the game to put us back into the lead. Wingham tied up the game for a brand new game going into the 3rd.

Volunteering to take on head coaching duties has been a rewarding experience. Watching the team come together as a group and develop their skills is incredible. We have had our ups and downs, but continued to persevere with practice and hard work. It has truly been a team effort. This season has shown that it takes more than one player to win a game. Multiple players have recorded their first goals this year. Some have grown into shutdown defensemen and others into great positional players. All the while, a smile on their faces. And speaking for the coaching staff, a pleasure to coach. ...
