Silver Stick Tournament
This past weekend, the Atom AE team participated in the Silver Stick Tournament. Unfortunately for the Sailors their record wasn't good enough to spring them into the final rounds.
Game 1 vs. Petrolia
The Sailors were able to keep Petrolia off the score board for most of the first period, matching speed for speed. But Petrolia started the scoring with only 1:25 left in the first period and kept it going throughout the second period. The Sailors stopped skating after the first goal and didn't find their legs again until half way through the third when Jacob scored with only 2:44 left to play in the game. Just a minute and a half later Wade scored on a pass from Eli and Keegan. Unfortunately the late charge by the Sailors wasn't good enough and they ended up losing to Petrolia 5-2.
Game 2 vs. Mitchell
The Sailor's second game was against the Mitchell Meteors. Mitchell, the first place team in the Sailor's division, has had the Sailor's number so far this year. But the Sailors were determined to show the Meteors that they are a force to contend with moving forward.
Mitchell opened the scoring at the 7:40 mark of the first period and from then on the game was a chess match. Both teams had their chances but neither could put the puck into the back of their opponent's net until 9:50 of the third period when Mitchell scored again. This cooled the Sailor's jets and Goderich ended up losing the game 2-0.
I have run out of time for now and will finish this up later...
