Game 3 vs Saugeen Shores Storm AE
In game 3, the Super Selects had to pull off a victory to move on to Sunday. It was a penalty filled affair but the strong penalty killing of Colin Nicol and Tyler Moore kept the Saugeen Shores Storm from brewing up any offence on the powerplay. Once again a great checking effort was put in by all. On offense many discovered the effectiveness of the pass. Several passes resulted in quick transitions through the neutral zone and scoring opportunities. A few great passes came from Foster Tannahill, James Millson, Dylan Phillips and Taelum Wilkie. Unfortunately, time was against us and lost 5-3.
