1st Three Games of the season.
The 1st 3 Games of the season see some great work by the PeeWee Scotiabank Sailors.
The Season opener a was Nail biter and Shoot-out in Clinton October 17th against the BCH Icedogs LL1. The Icedogs took a commanding lead of 4-0 in the 1st period adding a 5th unanswered goal early in the 2nd. Down 5-0 the boys fought back congealing as a team in the 2nd period. Nick scored the 1st goal of the season for the Sailors with the assist going to Aiden. Jayden with a nice setup from Jack made it 5-2. Nick scored again stealing the puck and putting in unassisted. Aiden put the puck onto Remi's stick who skated it in and the boys were within reach with the 4th unanswered Sailor Goal. The Icedogs finally fought back and the teams headed to the dressing room after the 2nd period 6-4. The Icedogs came out for the 3rd period strong making it 7-4 early but Remi made it 7-5 with the assist going to Nick. Aiden assisted by Evan put the Sailors with in reach again with 3:48 left. Remi made the hat trick assisted by Kaden to tie the game with 2:34 to go. The game could have gone either way but the Icedogs put it in the net with a minute twenty four left to take the close win 8-7. A great effort by the whole team showing offensive strength and heart, fighting back twice from 5 and 3 goal deficits.
On October 19th the Sailors played the Wingham Ironmen in Wingham. Wingham controlled this game from start to finish. The story of the game though was Tyler's amazing goaltending. Stopping 33 of 38 good shots the score of this game would have been much more lop sided if not for our hot goaltender. Remi put one in the net mid way through the third period from Evan's behind the net pass to take away the shutout from the Ironman goalie.
October 24th saw the Sailors back in Clinton against the BCH Icedogs LL2 team. BCH's Star players walked away with a 9-1 victory over the boys controlling the game. Jack Scored late in the 3rd with a great setup pass from Kaden to prevent the shutout. Each and every player on Sailor team had the opportunity to and played hard during the game.
