The Hockey Training Above Novice Tier 3 Warriors finished their regular season with a solid win in the barn against the North London Nationals.
The Warriors came out flying and never looked back! An awesome team effort with strong passes and big offence coupled with some big defense and a solid netminder meant the Warriors walked away with a 10-0 win. Brenden Sippel was on duty between the pipes and he continually frustrated the North London shooters. Early in the first Dawson White nabbed a goal, followed by another quick goal from Carter Petrie. Liam Ollson and Nolan Miller assisted a sweet goal by Colin Schultz, and then Schultz nabbed his second unassisted. Rylan Hall and Austin Musselman worked hard on the blue line while Aaron Green and Cody Bach kept the puck in the London end throughout the game. On the power play early in the second Petrie nabbed his second goal to make it 5-0. Sam Binns was digging hard in the corners and Nathan Siebert made some key passes throughout the game including one to Schultz to give him the hattrick. Early in the third Petrie nabbed his third for a second hattrick in the game. Mid-way through the third Colin Slattery scored on a breakaway while Blair Stokes nabbed the 8th goal for the Warriors late in the third. Grady Murphy buried a rebound late in the third to end the game with a decisive 10-0 win!
Playoff action begins next Saturday with the Warriors travelling to London to take on the Bandits for a 1:15 show down!
