The Sailors' victory over Walkerton gives them at least one win against every team in the league except the first place Hanover Barons.

GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1986 --PAGE 9A BY TD The Goderich Sailors served notice they are ready for the O.H.A. Junior 'C' playoffs with a pair of strong perfor- mances here on the weekend. Friday, the Sanas played to a 3 - 3 tie with the Wingham Jokers in a game they woulci have won had it not been for the strong goaltending of the Jokers' Mitch Braun. Sunday, the Sailors played one of their best games of the year in defeating the third place Walkerton Blackhawks, 8 - 6. Against Walkerton, the Sailors played a tough, physical game defensively, got good goaltending from Doug Dickson, and moved the puck well offensively. It was the kind of hockey that could make the Sailors a contender in their upcoming best -of -five quarter final playoff series with the Port Elgin Bears. The Sailors have one more regular season game to play Friday against the Bears in Paisley and then the same two teams will square off in playoff action. Firm dates have not been set, but it is like- ly the first game will be in Port Elgin Sun- day, with the second game here next Tues- day, February 11. Definite date § and times will be advertised as soon as the details are known. Good crowds attended both weekend games and the improved play of the Sailors should have the fans turning out in large numbers for the playoffs.
