The Neumeister Motors Ltd. Tier II Novice team took part in the Byron Optimist Competitve Tournament held in London this past weekend. It was the strongest competition that the Warriors have faced this year and the first games that the team had played in two weeks. The first game was against their league rival, the London Bandits. It was a tough game with the Warriors coming out on the losing end. Defenceman Nick Wagner played a strong game and was named player of the game for Stratford. Up next for the Warriors was the Humber Valley Sharks. The Toronto based team was dominant and was one of the best teams Stratford has faced. Zach Scrimgeour was named player of the game for a great effort on defence.
On Saturday, Stratford played two more games. The first was against the Sylvania North Stars out of Ohio. Owen Chadwick earned player of the game for the Warriors, showing tremendous hustle all game. Brantford was the opposition for the last game of the tournament, the game ended in a 2-2 tie. The Warriors played much better than the score indicated. Goaltender Lachlan Stanley played well between the pipes earning the player of the game. The Warriors start playoffs this upcoming weekend heading to Sarnia.
