Two Time Tournament Champions
Great Lakes Veterans Cup

The boys played in this tournament in Holland MI as the lone Canadian entry and finished the round robin with a 3 win 1 loss record. An offensive outburst and a shut-out from goalie Levi Thiessen in the forth game secured their spot in the finals against the 4-0 Glenbard Hockey Club. Both teams came out strong in the final but then after an injury to one of our defensemen the Sabres kicked up a notch and Glenbard couldn’t respond. The Sabres posted a 5 – 0 victory in the end with a shut-out from Emmett VanWezel. Perfect finish to a great week-end of hockey. 





Stoney Creek Tournament of Champions

Another tournament weekend, another tournament win for this hard-working group.  The round robin had the boys finish third with a record of 1 win, 1 loss and 1 tie in three very tightly contested games. The semi-final game was rematch against a talented Norfolk Knights team from game one of the tournament. A no score event until Michael Lopes scored the game winner with only 42 seconds left on the clock, then good defense and a shut-out performance from Levi Thiessen sealed the win. On to the finals against the only team to beat the Sabres, the Fort Erie Meteors who finished the round robin a perfect 3-0. This game was a battle with two very tough teams, this time it was Justin Armstrong scoring a power play goal from the point to put the Sabres ahead with just over ten minutes left in the game. Solid defensive play from the whole team, a PK that was unbeatable and a shut-out this time from Emmett VanWezel capped off an exciting championship game. Congratulations to the team for another championship performance week-end.
