Tigers Sail Past Port Colborne
The Welland Telus Tigers were able to trim the sails of Port Colborne when the teams met for the first time since their season-opening tie on October 1st, defeating them 8-0 to capture their fifth consecutive victory in Niagara District Peewee action




Brandon Alexander earned his sixth shutout of the 2018 campaign and Welland slowly wore down the pesky Sailors squad.

Quinten Hemauer scored the lone goal of the first period as Port Colborne stood their ground early on but Welland quietly plugged away and expanded their lead as the understaffed Sailors squad tired in the game's latter stages.

Hemauer would score his second of the game five minutes into the middle period on a nice shot from the slot, Kaleb Séguin would convert a nifty cross-crease pass from Eli Moormann and Carter Kipp would bang home a rebound to put the Tigers up 4-0 after two periods.

Despite a yeoman's effort from Brody Marton who came in relief of starting netminder Aaron Gross during the final minute of the second period, Welland was able to double their lead in the final fifteen minutes. Marton committed absolute larceny with an amazing glove save with seven minutes to play and followed up with an impressive paddle stop minutes later but the Tigers were still able to find the mesh behind him four times.

Tyler Rowland capitalized on the third Welland powerplay of the evening, depositing a hard shot from the slot past Marton, Séguin would make a great pass from Gretzky's office onto the blade of Carter Risto who made no mistake, and Nicolas DiPietro would round out the scoring with a pair of goals, the last of which came on a breakaway after a great stretch pass from Isaac Khan.

Welland, now 9-2-3 in league action, is off until next Wednesday night when they host the 8-0-2 Glanbrook Rangers at 7:20pm.
