Listowel started to spread the ice in the second and forced the Saugeen players with good defensive play and some very good passing on the break-out. Listowel dominated the rest of the game and came away with a 5-1 victory.
The coaching staff were pleased with the boys efforts this weekend and the team is starting to use some of the practice drills in game situations.
Great start guys, keep up the good work!
