Regional Silver Stick Champions!
In a hard fought final game against Ilderton on November 30th, the Kincardine West Shore Bantam Girls earned the Championship banner in the Saugeen Shores Regional Silver Stick tournament.

After a scoreless first period, Kincardine took a 1-0 lead on an unassisted, short-handed, breakaway goal by Hayley Stewart.  Assisted by Erica Gade, Morgan Padfield put the Kinucks ahead by 2 with a great shot to the top corner.  Ilderton made it 2-1, scoring on a power play, but in a TSN turning point, Padfield, from Stewart, scored 10 seconds later to let them know we were here to win.  Ilderton got their second goal after a race to the net resulted in a goal crease scramble, making it 3-2 at the end of the second. 

 

Thirty four seconds into the third period, Stewart banged in the rebound of a shot by Padfield, with an assist going to Madison McFadden.  Ilderton narrowed Kincardine’s lead to one with less than 2 minutes left in the game.  With great goaltending and a very strong defense, Kincardine held on to win 4-3 and become the 2008-09 Bantam “B” Regional Silver Stick Champions.

 

To earn their spot in the final, Kincardine played 3 games, recording two wins and one loss.  The Kinucks came up against a hot Stratford team Friday at the Plex, and suffered their only defeat of the weekend, losing 2-0.  Saturday morning the Bantams had the opportunity to play at the Owen Sound Bayshore arena against Markdale, winning 3-0.  Goals for Kincardine were scored by Morgan Padfield (2), and Kristen Derksen.  Assists went to Marcy Wigle and Dani Watterworth.  Saturday evening, the girls went up against an aggressive Walkerton team, and came away with a 1-0 victory.  After two scoreless periods and end to end action, the lone goal was scored by Stewart, assisted by Wigle.  Goaltender Kortney Watson earned the two shutouts. 

Congratulations girls!  Well done!
