this past weekend, taking part in the Lucknow Lions Nov-

Sloan (2), Bayden Parent, James Zolob (2) and Carter

Baker, Kyle Stanbury, Matthew Bean and Jackson Mil-
lion.
Buchanan completed his hat trick with just 10 seconds
left on the clock with an assist by Baker.
The Sailors next challenge was Embro, and a challenge
it was indeed. The game remained scoreless at the end of
the first period. Sloan (2), Morris, Buchanan and Stanbury
scored for the Sailors, with assists going to Parent, Tom-
linson, Buchanan, Josh Larkin, Bean and Baker.
Kyle Prouse held the fort between the pipes.
In the third and final game of the day, the Sailors faced
Brayton for a come -from -behind victory.
Closing off the first with a one -goal deficit, Bean tied
things up in the second, assisted by Buchanan and Mor-
ris.
In the third period the Sailors came to life. -
Buchanan scored, unassisted before Stanbury netted
another goal for the Sailors 20 seconds later - also unas-
• sisted.
Sloan -too scored, unassisted and Stanbury scored his
second, assisted by Zolob and Bean. '
With 0.8 seconds on the clock ~Buchanan scored again
for the Sailors, leaving the score 6-1.
Abbott again played a strong game between the pipes
for the Sailors.
Although not awarded on the tournament game sheets
Dwyer Brown, Brady Gerber and Nathan Erb contributed
to the Sailors victory due to their strong defensive skills.
Buchanan was named the Lucknow Lions Novice
Tournament MVP by the committee chairs.
On Jan. 2, the Sailors played to a tie against the Mitch-
ell Meteors and on Sunday, Jan. 4, the team lost to the
Listowel Cyclones, 2-1.
ATOM SAILORETTES
. The Mcgeemotors.ca Atom Sailorettes have won their
third tournament of the season, going undefeated in the
Woodstock Wildcats .13th Annual tournament, on Jan. 2
to 4.
In their first game, the Sailorettes faced off against the
Walkerton Capitals. The Sailorettes controlled the game
coming away with a 4-0 victory.
The second game had them meet up with. a new oppo-
nent, the Ingersoll Ice.
This team is the most competition the girls have faced
all year however the Sailorettes prevailed and skated to a
4-1 victory. •
After winning the first two games, the girls knew they
had advanced to the final.
En route they sent London packing, handing them a 9-1
loss at the hands of Goderich's newest `B' team. •
The final pitted the girls against the Ingersoll Ice once
more, and while it was evident the Ice wanted to redeem
themselves by defeating the Sailorettes, Goderich scored
first and held onto that lead for the remainder of the
game.
Another Sailorette goal late in the third cemented the
win after Ingersol pulled their goalie for an extra attacker.
The tournament was a huge success for the girls who
outscored their opponents 20-2. Well done team.
JUNIOR RINGETFE
Emotions ran high in the Junior Ringette team's recent
chippy contest against Seaforth. The Goderich ladies
showed incredible intensity with their gritty play, play-
ing short-handed seven times, Goderich still managed to
equal their opponents on the scoreboard.
The fans were treated to a spectacular goalie duel in the
4-4 tie. Goderich scored first at the 17:36 mark of the first
period and for the rest of the game a tremendous see -saw
battle ensued with Seaforth taking the lead on three differ-
ent occasions.
A truck -load of credit has to be given to netminder Mc -
Ewan for several excellent toe saves, and the defensive
play of Trebish, DenDunnen, MacKenzie, Oudshoorn
and team captain Dietrich was magnanimous.
The offence maintained steady
pressure on Seaforth with an un-
wavering stream of shots at the
unsuspecting goalie. Superior
preformances by Pentland, Cun-
ningham, Hummel, Austin, John-
son and Hillier ensured the team
would not lose. Goals .by Johnson,
Austin, Hummel and Dietrich
were complemented by assists
from Pentland, Hillier, Trebish,
Hummel and MacKenzie.
"A gutsy game for sure,"
quipped Assistant Coach Deb Aus-
tin. "We'll have Seaforth's number
next time."
The Juniors play on the mad
next Friday night against London,
7:30 p.m. at Carling Arena.
