On Sunday afternoon Hagersville traveled down highway 6 to Port Dover for an afternoon match up against the Sailors. The Hawks came from behind twice in the second period and skated away with a 6-3 win. Cody Jamieson continued his strong start to the season by scoring three goals and adding an assist. Brad Williams, David Watson and Braden Sullivan added singles for the Hawks. The Hawks broke open a 2-2 tie with a pair of goals in the first less than two minutes apart in the third period. Darren Kraay picked up three assists; Jesse Sault added a pair, while Jim Greenfield, Josh Richert, Jesse Sommers and Johnson added singles. James Kerst picked up the win stopping 33 of 36 shots he faced.
