Road Warriors!!!!
 On Friday February 21st the Marcc Apparel Bantam AE Sailors traveled 4 1/2 hours, to the unfriendly confines of the Lakefield Arena, to open the OMHA Quarter Finals. After a hard fought OT victory, on Friday, in game 1, they returned for Game 2 Saturday afternoon.

Game 2, with the Lakefield Chiefs, was certainly a different contest for the Marcc Apparel Bantam AE team, but with the same result. With Braeden out nursing an injury, Ryan and Daniel stepped up and did an amazing job up the middle. The game started with Lakefield getting a too many men on the ice penalty, less then a minute in, on which the Sailors were unable to capitalize. Lakefield opened the scoring 4 minutes in during a goal mouth scramble. The Sailors then took a couple penalties, but the PK stood its ground. With 4 minutes left Daniel drove down the left side with the puck and put it on net. Liam potted Daniel's rebound to tie things up, and pull past Kyle L in goal scoring. The Chiefs scored with 2 minutes left, on a tough break for Tanner, and Dwyer all over the Chief player. First period ended 2-1 Chiefs
The Sailors then took over in the second with 3 goals . First Kody off a draw won by Daniel, then Justin scored a power play goal assisted by Liam, and Noah finished the scoring with an excellent effort, on an unassisted marker. The Sailors also killed off 3 more penalties as the second period ends 4-2 Sailors
 After figuring out most of our penalties were for retaliation, the boys realized they would have to learn to take what was being dished out, and beat them on the scoreboard. Third period starts with Ryan winning the draw, Alex steps over the blue line and beats the Chiefs goalie, just 13 seconds in, to break a long goalless streak. Each team added one more goal, with Justin scoring an unassisted. The boys played a great team game with a lot of discipline, and the coaching staff congratulates them on an awesome weekend of hockey. (thanks to Coach Brown for the report)

 The Sailors are in Mt Forest Sunday, for game 5 of their WOAA Gregg Division Round Robin Playoffs, before they return home for the continuation of the OMHA Quarter-finals with the Lakefield Chiefs. The Sailors now lead the 6-point series, 4 points to nothing. Game 3 is Friday Night, 6:30 pm, at the Maitland Recreational Centre. Come out, pack the house, and cheer on the Sailors as they try to earn a berth in the All-Ontario Finals. GO SAILORS GO!!!!
