Pee Wee C Girls Win Silver in Woodstock!
The Remax/Midsummers Cafe Pee Wee C girls started off the new year with a silver medal at the 13th annual Woodstock Wildcats girls tournament.

The girls began the weekend with a 2 - 0 win against the St. Clair Storm.  Their next opponent was the home team - the Woodstock Wildcats.  It was a very close game with all the girls playing with strength and determination.  Saugeen won the game 1 - 0.  The Storm played their third game early Sunday morning against the Stratford Aces.  Again, it was a very close fought game with the score tied at 0 - 0 after two periods of play.  The Storm had several excellent scoring chances but the Aces goalie held them off the scoresheet.  Stratford were able to score late in the third to take the lead 1 - 0.  Saugeen pulled their goalie and nearly tied it up with several scrambles in front of the Stratford net but ended up losing the game 2 - 0.

Because the Storm had 2 wins, they finished first in round robin play and advanced to the gold medal game.

 The gold medal game featured a rematch between a very driven Saugeen Shores team and the home team of Woodstock.  Both teams came out flying and had several good chances to score in the first, but the period ended 0 - 0.  The Wildcats were able to get a goal late in the second to go up 1 - 0.  The Storm answered back early in the third to tie the game at one apiece.   Both teams continued to press hard with very exciting end to end action.  Woodstock would score with only three minutes left to take the lead 2 - 1.  The Storm pulled their goalie and added an extra attacker but were unable to score in the dying seconds of the game and captured the silver medal.

All players are congratulated for their great effort all weekend.  It was a great way to start the new year!  The girls next game is on Saturday January 10 at the Plex versus Markdale.
