Saturday's Games
The Sailors were back on the ice first thing Saturday morning when they played Lambeth in Komoka. Goderich found their game early and fired puck after puck at the Lambeth goalie but their goalie stood tall facing 17 Sailor shots and stopping 15 of them. Eric and Ben were not overly busy facing 9 shots but the smooth passing Lambeth team were able to sneak two goals by the Sailor goaltenders. When the final buzzer sounded the Sailors finished with yet another tie 2-2. Goal scorers for the Sailors included Eli and Wade.
Game MVP: Wade
Even Players: Aidan and Kaleb

Next up for the Sailors was the first place Dorchestor Dragons. Dorchester was a very smooth skating and quick passing team but the Sailors held their own in the game thanks in part to their great goal tending tandem of Ben and Eric who together stopped 18 of 20 shots. Once again the Sailors struggled to fire pucks on the Dorchester net (10). Lone goal scorer for the Sailors was Joey. Although the Sailors ended up losing the game 2-1 they qualified for the consolation game later in Mount Brydges.

Consolation Game
The Sailors played Lambeth for the second time on Saturday in the consolation game. Lambeth game out determined to make it hard for the Sailors to find any time and space on the ice. Lambeth fired 19 shots at the Sailor goalies while Ben and Eric were able to stop 18. Aidan was a man on a mission early in game firing 3 of the 7 Sailor shots at the Lambeth net but he was snake-bitten each time. Unfortunately for the Sailors they just couldn't beat the very skilled Lambeth goalie and the game ended 1-0 for Lambeth.
Game MVP: Eli
Even players: Evan, Joey, Keegan, Eli, Aidan and Kaleb
Ben's Save Percentage: 1.00
