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.
