The Goderich Lions Peewee
Sailors took the consolation cham-
pionship
hainpionship just as the sun was setting
on Monday night, beating Wallace -
burg 5-2.
Both teams generated lots of of
fensive action in all periods, but the
Sailors really put the pressure on in
the first two periods of the game,
scoring four of their five goals
there.
Wallaceburg was the first to
strike, putting a rebound just past
Goderich's defensive line, but that
would be their only goal till mid-
way through the third period. •
What followed was a direct at-
tack on Wallaceburg's goaltender.
Goderich's Chad Kernighan
decked out Wallaceburg's defensive
line, sneaking in front of the net to
put one up high.
Not long after, DJ Stevenson
wrapped around Wallaceburg's net,
bypassing the defensive players to
sneak one bottom corner. Assists
were netted by Chase Kulich and
Ian Simpson.
The second period was all God-
erich, through pressure and solid
mid -ice defense, they were able to
maintain either possession, or time
on the attack for the majority of the
period. •
Kulich was able to capitalize on
a face -off -turned -scramble allowed
and put a rebound top -shelf, off of
an original Harry Parson shot.
Another goal by James Huber,
assigted by Stevenson, brought
Goderich three points ahead of
Wallaceburg by the time the second
was over.
Goderich successfully killed their
second penalty of the game early
in the third, but right after they re-
turned to full strength, Wallaceburg
seemed to wake up, putting a shot
from the point on net, cutting God-
erich's lead to two.
Unfortunately, the late game rally
wouldn't be enough, as Wallace -
burg was unable to capitalize on
any more offensive opportunities.
A hooking call late in the third
gave Goderich the power -play, and
they took full advantage. An odd -
man rush by Brandon Johnston and
Taylor Helesic resulted in a power-
play goal, setting the final score 5-2.
Sailorettes start big, finish in consolation
Gerard Crease
'signal -star staff
You could count the number of
saves Goderich Sailorettes goalten-
der, Lauren German made Friday
night on one hand.
Then again, you could count the
number of shots on net the same way
as the girls skated to an easy 6-0 win
over Tiverton during opening night
action of Young Canada Week.
Sailorettes captain Jessica Hastie
lit up the scoreboard four times in
the win. Hastie began with a one-two
combo just 16 seconds apart in the
first period followed by a short-hand-
ed effort in the second and one for the
road six minutes into the third. .
The score did no justice to Tiver-
ton's goaltender, who was bom-
barded by Goderich throughout most
of the game, and stopped numerous
shots on net.
While Goderich was able to cut
through the Tiverton defence, the
road to the five -hole was covered by
an intuitive keeper. •
. For the first five minutes of the
game, the puck barely left Tiverton's
zone, but even though the pressure
was on, no goals were let in until
Hasties' first about seven minutes in.
Rounding out the scoring for the
Sailorettes was Ashley Bakker from
Callie Vance and Haley Ferguson off
Vance and Gwendolyn Schilbe.
Early assists went to Ferguson, Ally :
Hulley, Vance, Madison McLean,
Shaley Oster and Schilbe.
The Sailorettes rode . a string of
wins to their semi-final March 15
against Mount Forest, but lost 3-0 to
put them on the consolation side and
• a• 3-2 loss to Blyth/Brussels.
Local Leaguefalls one shy of South Huron
Had there been just 30 seconds more
in the game, the Goderich Canadian
Tire Local League boys could have
pulled out a win against South Huron
March 13, but the clock ran out on the
Sailors' comeback, losing 4-3.
It was the opening game of Young
Canada Week, and Goderich goalten-
der Aaron Boniface had his work cut
out for him as South Huron drove hard
and created many scoring opportuni-
ties. With the home team down 3-0 go-
ing into the third, and 4-0 just minutes
later the peewees needed to muster up
a comeback - and they did.
The Achilles heel of South Huron's
goalie proved to be top -shelf on the
glove hand, as Mitchell Chambers
would demonstrate after freeing the
puck from a scramble iri front of God-
erich's net. Chambers planted a wrist -
shot over the shoulder of the Sabres'
goalieand into the twine to, get the
puck rolling six minutes into the third.
This was followed up four minutes
later, when Evan Guest glided through
the defence and found the same sweet
spot, assisted by Kaelen Profit and

The momentum was switching in
Goderich's favour, and while the pee

two-point lead until Stephen DeJager
notched a last -second goal quite liter-
