West Lorne Tourny, Semi Final vs Strathroy Rockets
We had our work cut out for us as our Semi Final opponents came into the game having not surrendered a goal in the tournament. The Rockets lived up to their billing. A team of very good skaters with a goal tender that was a master of covering the lower part of the net. Although we had several chances in close, we just couldn't get the puck into the top half of the net. Liam Flood did his best to keep us in the game, making multiple saves on opponent's breakaways and long shots with his catching glove.
The Rockets attacked steadily, building a 7-0 lead through 2 1/2 periods. the most dangerous Brock chance off an Aron Barnett backhand that rung high off the post. But the Wild still didn't give up. While pressing to break the Strathroy shutout streak. Travis Yake finally buried a rebound with a high backhand from a sharp angle with just 1:16 left in the game. Assists went to Hayden Hine and Dax Giguere.
Liam Flood was the recipient of the Player of the Game Puck. If it weren't for Liam the result would have been much worse.
