WE ARE SAILOR HOCKEY!!
Sailors give Trenton all they want and more taking them to the limit. Sailors score 2 early in first, Coppock from Hicks, then Norkus from Adkins. All PP goals.
Tenton ties it in second, setting up a tight 3rd. Sailors score early in 3rd except ref was looking somewhere else along with goal judge. 2,000 people saw it go it except for the refs and goal judge. Trenton scores late in 3rd and desparately hangs on for victory as Sailor put on all out assault on net.
Congratulations to the whole team as they really stepped it up at the end of the year in the tradition of MS hockey.
For the Seniors, special props to maintain the tradition of excellence!!!
Zaloga, Hicks, Emig, Bowcamp, Mylenek, Pierce, Norkus, Coppock
Nice job boys!!!!
Sailors jump out to 2 - 0 lead, 3 - 2 after 2 and 3 -3 after 3!!
Norkus, Hicks, and Pierce score in regulation and Boyd ends with on a perfect feed from Bishop 4 minute into OT.
The Sailors defeat a determined FHNE squad 4 -1 behind a 33 save performance by Reed Schlender in the net. The Sailors jumped out to 1 - 0 after one on a Coppock slot shot off of a deflected pass by Zaloga. The Sailors add 2 in the 2nd on a Jared Taylor top shelf laser from the top of the circle assists to Pierce and Hicks. The 2nd goal of the period came off the stick of Hicks on a nice feed from Adkins and Bowcamp. The 3rd was back and forth with several bad Sailors penalties and FHNE punches one in on the powerplay with 5 minutes to go to draw closer at 3 - 1. The Sailors seal it with a Boyd goal in the slot from Zaloga and O'Brien to get to 4 - 1. Strong defense by clearing rebounds and blocking shots credited to Emig, Taylor, Skocelas, Mylenek, and Bowcamp to assist Schlender in his efforts. Jake Fields picks up a couple of big saves at the end to keep the score at 4 - 1.
Next game is Tuesday, at 7:00 p.m. at the FSU rink in Big Rapids against the the winner of the Escanaba/TC Reps game.
Way to go Sailors!!!
Sailors move on to Regionals with a 4 - 0 win over Reeths Puffer at Lakeshore Sports Centre this evening. Reed Schlender stands tall in the net stopping several quality chances and the offense started fast in the first to go up 2 - 0. Juniors Evan Adkins and Nate O'Brien strike for the Sailors. The second was scoreless. The Sailors added 2 in the 3rd by the senior line of Hicks, Coppock, and Zaloga ("3 Lefts Make it Right" Line). Strong D by Mylenek, Bowcamp, Skocelas, and Taylor help keep the Rockets off the board.
The Sailors advance to a Friday night game at Griff's Ice House in Grand Rapids at 8:00 p.m. to take on the winner of the FHNE vs. FHC game also being played this evening.
In a chippy physical contest, the Sailors turn it on in the 3rd to top the Falcons, 4 - 1, to clinch at least a share of the OK Tier 1 Conference title. The game started slow due to penalties and endless stoppages as EK did their best to slow the Sailors down. Austin Zaloga scores in the first on a nice wrister from the blue line assist to Jared Taylor. EK scores late in 1st on a nice indvidual play from White. The 2nd remained scoreless with more penalties and delays.
The 3rd belonged to the Sailors as the Sr. line of Norkus, Hicks, and Coppock do the damage early in the 3rd. Hicks scores on a nice feed from Coppock via Norkus as EK d-men check Norkus into goalie for a wide open net for Hicks. Midway thru the 3rd, Nate O'Brien scores on a nice effort over the EK goalie's shoulder with Derek Emig on the assist. EK pulls the goalie late and Hicks ends the drama with an open netter on an EK turnover in their zone. Game over.
Excellent effort by D-men Taylor, Mylenek, Bowcamp, Emig, Skocelas and others to limit EK chances and Reed Schlender stands tall and strong to keep EK off the board after the 1st period with several big stops.
Depending upon outcome of GRCC/Rockford game today, Sailors will either share title with GRCC or win it outright if GRCC doesn't win.
Congrats to Sailors for rallying back from a tough start and once again finishing on top!!
New season starts Monday at 7 as the Sailors meet Grand Haven in the first game of the State playoffs at Lakeshore.
