Waterloo Memorial Tournament
The Bantam Major team competed hard this past weekend in the Waterloo Memorial Tournament. The coaching staff is very proud of the boys for their focus and determination. The competition was fierce, yet the Sabres played hard to finish fourth in their division. The Sabres tied two games on Friday against the St. Thomas Junior Stars (3-3) and Woodstock Junior Navy Vets (2-2). On Saturday, the Sabres played the Brantford 99ers, a team who was undefeated all year and who won the tournament, losing 3-0. The Sabres were down two players that game as one was taken out with a broken collarbone and the other was out for a lower body injury. The Sabres finished the tournament strong with a great 3-1 win against the Waterloo Wolves.
Although the Sabres were disappointed to not have advanced to the semi-finals, lots of fun was had and memories created off the ice with a Mexican-themed dinner on Friday night followed by a home-made soup and sandwich dinner on Saturday night.
As the saying goes, “You never lose. You either win or learn”. The Sabres played with heart and determination throughout the entire tournament and will continue to work hard to finish off the regular season strong! #sabres #teammates #hockeyfamily
