The Saints 18U defeated the Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs 4-1 today at the Buffalo Regals Columbus Day Tournament. Highlighting the game was a gutsy effort by 8 players who, due to a scheduling conflict with soccer and golf, were forced to play the last 25 minutes of the game. Matt Benedict put the Saints on the board early, and Nick Smith padded the lead before the first half ended. When the second half started, the Saints took the ice with 8 players and 2 goaltenders. Hamilton finally found the net with 10 minutes left in the game, but Matt Benedict added his second of the game to push the lead to 3-1. Tommy Mediak capped off the game with a great individual effort to finish the scoring at 4-1. Peter Dudek was strong with 18 saves in the game.
The Saints will face the Amherst 18U AAA on Thursday, Oct. 14. The puck drops at 8:50pm at the Northtown Center.
