The Goderich Community Credit Union Atom’s played
an exhibition game against the Seaforth Stars on Saturday. The Sailors really
came together as a team with each player contributing to the game. Jacob was on
fire scoring 4 goals this game. Mitchell, Lucas, Evan and Owen also scored
goals in this 8-3 victory.
Wilder got 4 assists, Keegan had 2 and
Owen, Lucas, Alex, Eric and Jacob each chipped in with an assist in the game.
On Sunday the Sailors travelled to Listowel for a rematch of a previous 11-1 loss to the Cyclones. Although the Sailors came up 1 goal short at the end of the game, the close score proved that the Goderich Sailors are improving and gelling together as a team.
Goderich started the scoring in the first period with an unassisted shot from behind the blue line from Keegan that snuck by the Cyclones goalie.
The Cyclones would score 2 more goals to in the 2nd and 3rd period to make the score 3-1. With minutes left in the 3rd period the Sailors would pull their goalie for the extra attacker and it paid off. With 12 seconds left in the game Lucas scored assisted by Owen and Kaleb.
Eric played 2 great games in net for the Sailors and the Sailors did a great job of protecting their goalie after the whistle.
The boys should be proud of the great game they played.
The GCCU Sailors will travel to Mitchell this Friday night to take on the Meteors.
