Pirates on to 'A' pool, Sailors ousted
The Goderich Pirates are heading to the
'A' division of the Senior 'A' finals, and
the momentum from their four close loses
to first -seeded Petrolia could make them a
force to be reckoned with.
The Petrolia Squires downed Goderich in
four straight, however the first place team
had trouble holding onto the lead in almost
all of their games.
In game one, Goderich lost by a single
point, with the final buzzer showing Petro-
lia
etrolia up 4-3.
Their second match pushed Petrolia even
further, having Goderich take it to over -time
with a man advantage. Unfortunately, they
couldn't capitalize on the situation and' lost
the match 4-3.
In a high -scoring third contest, Goderich
again lost, with the final tally being Petrolia
7, Goderich 5. .
In their final game, held on Sunday, Febru-
ary 15, Goderich again kept the competition
close, but was unable to turn the game into a
win. With heavy hitting, and a lot of scoring
chances, Goderich almost had Petrolia, but
the Squires' Justin Day stood on his head as
net -minder for the match, stopping Goder-
ich at every turn, and holding against the Pi-
rates' pulled -goalie, six -on -five fi nal press.
The Pirates now wait to see w he ► they play
against in their next series. They will , play
the highest -seeded team to lose their first
round series.
Meanwhile, the Junior 'C' Sailors were
downed by the Hanover Barons three
straight in their opening round of playoffs,
and are looking to rebuild after a tough sea- .-
son.
Following the release of coach Larry
Lane, the Sailors used their last- games to
bring up a handful of players from Goder-
ich's Midget Reps after their season ended
with last week's loss to Listowel.
The Sailors executive want to thank the
team, staff and fans for another year of Ju-
nior 'C' hockey in Goderich.
