Hard Work Pays Off
The Bantam Sailors #2 team sponsored by Metal Roofs Niagara and Claire's Delivery Service started off their tournament in Thorold with a shutout win vs. one of the host teams.




The whole team started and finished the game in high gear giving a perfect effort as they defeated Thorold 4 - 0 in the opening game of the Henderson Pharmacy Tournament in Thorold at the Bantam level.

The first goal of the game was scored a little over half way through the first period when a tremendous second effort from Lukas set up his brother Evan for the potential game winning goal.  Lukas was working to gain entry into the Black Hawk zone with lots of resistance and when he was tripped he made the pass while going to the ice to Evan from his belly; Evan got the pass and made no mistake lifting it past the Thorold keeper on his blocker side.  A couple minutes later Lukas scored his first goal of the tourney by stick-handling through a maze of players in the slot and managed to shoot and bulge the twine to increase the score to 2 - 0. 

There was no scoring in the second period, but both teams had their chances.  Four minutes into the third period, Evan scored his second goal of the game on the power-play with assists going to his brother Lukas and Kyle (The Professor). 

Then, with less than a minute left in the game, Thorold got a power-play, and shortly after, pulled their goalie for a second man advantage; while applying pressure with the 2-man advantage, the Professor, Kyle, blocked a point shot in his upper body and skated out of his own end.  Somehow he managed to get the puck onto his stick to shoot it into the empty net and score a short-handed goal to secure the win.  Ryan earned his 6th shutout of the season with a lot of help from his team mates playing extraordinary hockey in front of him.

Keep up the great work boys !!!
