Let the playoffs begin!
SS#2 is now into the playoffs and holding their own quite well.
On Saturday Feb. 19th game against Arran-Elderslie #2, we battled the wind and snow to make it to the Plex. Lots of fans in the stands cheered on the evenly matched teams. SS#2 opened the scoring in the first period with a breakaway high shot from Colby Ritchie. Some great zone clearing from the Defense kept the score 1-0 until the second period. Arran-Elderslie's persistent attacks in our end resulted in their first goal of the game. SS#2 kept up the pressure and was rewarded with a goal from Toby Wilkinson, leaving the score 2-1 going into the third. Arran-Elderslie refused to give up and scored half-way through the third to bring the game to a tie. Then the lights went out--literally! While the teams waited for the lights to come on again, they had time to prepare strategy. After 5 minutes or so, the play continued. When the buzzer went, the score was still tied 2-2, which meant a sudden victory overtime period of 10 minutes. The excellent work of both goalies kept this game as a tie at the end of the period. It was a well-fought match by both teams.
