The Legion Peewee Kinucks great season continued over the weekend when they swept the Strathroy Junior Rockets in the OMHA semi-finals. On Friday 26 February they made a snowy journey to Strathroy for the opening game against the Junior Rockets who they had beaten in the International Silver Stick Finals. After a close first period with good work in net by Joey Doyle and strong penalty killing by Kincardine holding the score at 0-0, Strathroy jumped into a 2-0 lead in the first four minutes of the second. Kincardine supporters had their worry beads out but our boys like nothing better than a deficit to go at and by the end of the period had stormed back to lead 3-2. Garrett McFadden scored the first from Shane Vollmer and Kurt Dunsbier. Less than a minute later Shane Vollmer fired home from Ethan Long. Ethan Skinner had the Kincardine fans on their feet five minutes from the end of the period with the goal to take the lead, assisted by Shane Vollmer. The Kinucks controlled the third period until Strathroy scored two minutes from time. That fired the Legion boys up for overtime when they struck the winner two minutes in from Garrett McFadden, the assist going to Scott McFarlan.
