I haven’t been to any hockey games for quite a while so I stopped in to see Welland vs. Fort Erie Saturday February 6, 2016. I can’t see the Port Colborne Pirates play any more since they moved to Pelham when the Niagara Whalers took over Vale centre.
So being that it’s been a long time and remembering how Fort Erie used to play it was pretty surprising and impressive to see that Fort Erie got the win! They managed the win in regular time with a final score of 4 to 3.
There was even a fight that broke out and they ejected a player out of the game for “roughing after the whistle”. Mind you there were some calls in the game that left you wondering what’s going on like too many men on the ice. I guess you best get off the ice before you send a new player out there.
The Port Colborne Pirates hosted the Welland Jr. Canadians for the season opening game at the West Side Arena.
The Pirates started out very strong against the Jr. Canadians. It was looking like a shut out with a Pirates win after the first period! Port Colborne managed to bring the score up to 3-0 at the buzzer of the first period. The second period Welland decided it was time to sneak in their first goal after The Pirates brought the score up to 4-0. By the end of the third period it was 6-2 and The Pirates shorted everyone by one goal from getting some Don Cherry’s freebies. After all was said and done it was still a great game with brand new jersey’s thanks to Don Cherry’s.

Up next Port Colborne plays Stoney Creek in an away game.
Come out and cheer for The Pirates next Friday 14th when Thorold stops by the West Side arena.
The Port Colborne Pirates played against the Stoney Creek Warriors during the exhibition tournament at the West Side Arena. Real Cormier came back in net to back back in his routine. Unfortunately Stoney Creek managed to beat Port Colborne, eliminating them from the tournament playoffs.
The St. Catharines Falcons hosted The Brantford Golden Eagles for the final scheduled round-robin game. St. Catharines started with an advantage over London Nationals by knowing they needed a win to advance onto the playoff series for the Sutherland Cup.
When the game ended the score was 2-2 however the officials didn’t allow one Falcons goal because the net was off the posts. Brantford Golden Eagles advance to the playoff series winning an incredible 4 games of 4 during the round-robin. The Falcons loss pushes an additional game between St. Catharines and London to determine who will take on Brantford for the 2011-2012 Southerland Cup.
The St. Catharines Falcons will host The London Nationals for the final round-robin game on Tuesday April 22, 2012. The winner will advance to the the Southerland Cup playoff against The Brantford Golden Eagles.
Port Colborne Pirates hosted St. Catharines Falcons for what turned into the final game for the Pirates in the playoffs. Port Colborne worked hard to take second place. The team worked hard to improve over last year when they were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs against Niagara Falls Canucks.

The Port Colborne Pirates were first to step out on the ice, and also they were first to put the puck into the net. The first period saw two Pirates goals before The Canucks managed to slip a puck past Real Cormier in net. That left the score at 2-1 for the Pirates after the first period.
The second period Port Colborne opened up their lead with an additional goal bringing it to 3-1 by the end of the period.
The third period saw another goal right before the final buzzer bringing the score to 4-1. Niagara Falls pulled their goalie to try and give them an advantage to tie up, or win the game so the final goal was scored on an open net. There wasn’t much movement on the ice when they dropped the final puck for the game’s last face-off after that goal.
Port Colborne now stands with a lead of 3-0 for the game series. With the next game in the West Side arena, it looks promising that’s where the series will end. It will still require a lot of hustle out on the ice for whoever will win the series.
March 9, 2012 was the last game of the playoff series between Port Colborne and Stoney Creek. Port Colborne Pirates are now advancing to the next round of playoffs against Niagara Falls Canucks. The first game is scheduled in Niagara Falls for Friday March 16, at 7:30p.m.
As you can see below, Carson Minor just scored the final goal of the second period. That brought the game total to 8-0.

Good luck on the next round of playoffs Pirates.

This is the final Junior B hockey photo blog entry. While it was enjoyable shooting and posting game photo’s, there seems to be an overall lack of interest.
Merry Christmas to all, and Happy New Year as well!
