The Goderich Jr. 'C' Sailors came
close, but dropped two matches
over the weekend - a 2-1 shootout-
loss versus the Kincardine Bull-
dogs, and a 6-4 loss to the Wing -
ham Ironmen.
Both games were hardfought, as
the Sailors stayed within striking
distance of the lead, but couldn't
convert on their chances to put
themselves over the top.
The Sailors loss versus Wingham
had them trailing 5-4 late in the
third when an open -net goal sealed
their fate.
Coach Todd Goetz said that he
has seen a marked improvement in
the team, and that they've played
great hockey recently.
"In the last eight games, we've
played very well," he saici. "I think
we're playing smarter hockey, and
we're bringing energy, and hope-
fully that's a result of the program
we've put in play. "
Goetz, who said he's strong
on defensive play attributed the
change in playing style to the team
stepping up their game.
"Most of my players are now
playing to their full potential," he
said. "It's taken awhile, but I've
asked them to change their play-
ing styles, and they're doing it now.
Hopefully that will help us come
out with more wins."
Friday's action against the Kin-
cardine Bulldogs saw the Sailors
start strong with two early goals in
the first period. Brendan Thomson
netted the first marker, with assists
credited to Brent Alton and Grant
Alton. Thomas Bedour scored
Goderich's second goal unassisted.
Later in the first, Kincardine put
in two back-to-back markers, one
on the powerplay, to tie the game,
and later put in a third to take the
lead 2-1.
Entering the second period down
by one, Goderich fought hard, pro-
viding Jamie Miller to opportunity
to score, tying the game at 2. There
was no further scoring until the
game went to a shootout, which re-
quired 14 players total to determine
a winner. •
Saturday's action saw Goderich
start the game off behind, with
Wingham scoring a goal in the
first minute, however, the Sailors

weren't going to go quietly, with
Brett McGuiness putting in the ty-
ing marker, with assists from Ben
Sloetjes and Shawn McColl.
Throughout the game, Goder-
ich and Wingham continued the
game of monkey -see, monkey -do,
as Wingham would take the lead,
while goals from Brent Alton (as-
sisted by Bedour) and Brent De-
bruyn (assisted by Miller) kept
Goderich in the game until the
early minutes of the third, when a
second goal from McGuiness, as-
sisted by Brett Austin and Brandon
Dykxhoorn, put the Sailors ahead
by one. Wingham answered with
two of their own, followed by an
open -net goal late in the third, to
take the match 6-4. .
The Sailors continue their six -
game home -stay with a match
against the first -seeded Walkerton
Hawks, who beat the Sailors 2-1 in
Walkerton during their last season
match up.
