The defence pairing of Noah and Austin, Cam and Caden did a good job keeping the puck out of the zone. Both Kellen and Michael played a great game in goal. Michael had a spectacular save late in the second period reaching back with his stick across the goal to deny the Capitals’ player an easy tap in.
The Sailors played well with a complete team effort. Both forward lines had a strong game with support from the defencemen. Nicely done Sailors!
