"D" Championship: Stars vs Sailors
The "D" Championship saw the Cayuga Stars and Goderich Sailors square off.

The game started with end to end rushes that tested both goalies early. After sustained pressure from the Sailors, it was the Stars who would force a turnover and take the puck the full length of the rink to score on a sharp angle shot that would pick the far top corner for a 1-0 lead. The Stars would follow their early goal up with another goal 4 minutes later that was scored off a rebound off the end boards in tight on the Sailors' goalie.

The second period didn't feature scoring but it did have a few penalties. The Stars started the parade to the penalty box but it was the Sailors who followed up with a few of their own with the result that they had to kill a 30 second Stars' 5 on 3 power play.

The Stars started the third period with a 2-0 lead and, although the Sailors pressed, there were no goals in the period until just a few minutes to go when the Stars added another one. Down 3-0, the Sailors pulled their goalie but it was to no avail as the Cayuga Stars added an empty net goal to seal the win at 4-0 to claim the "D" Championship.

Congratulations to both teams on a well-played game.
