Pearce Auction had a dynamite red and white Christmas. Just before the jolly guy arrived on December 22, Pearce Auction met Lindsay in Port Perry. Lindsay put the pressure on early and had many chances in our end but Leo Tallion kept it scoreless. Michael Lycett worked hard and lead by example. Lindsay broke the deadlock but Port Perry came back strongly. Keenan Geer scored for the Auctioneers with help from Kyle Mullins and Jeff Tomcheski to end the contest tied. After the Christmas break Pearce Auction were ready to compete in 2 tournaments three days apart. Wednesday, Dec. 27th, we were up early for the drive to Acton to play Tottenham at 9:30am. It was a close contest as Matthew Roth, on a breakaway, let go a blistering wrist-shot that just missed. Unfortunately, Port Perry couldn't break Tottenham's strong defence while Tottenham netted two goals putting us on the B' side. Our _next opponent was Creemore and another close game ensued. Michael Lycett's persistence paid off when he scored a bank shot off the goalie to open the scoring. Matthew Roth banged in a nice goal with assist to Tyson Savage who also helped Ashley Lucas put the puck and goalie in the net for Pearce Auction's third. Creemore came back to take the lead to make it 4-3. With only 1:07 on the clock in the third, Derek Goreski set Michael Lycett up for the tying goal and it was overtime. This was sudden death in 2 minute segments. As each period ended both teams removed one player leavin the original players to endure with no substitutions. It was down to three players on 3 as Leo Taillon was doing his thing in our net. Creemore took a penalty and on the next face-off Keenan Geer, our long-distance specialist, took it in all the way and ripped one home for an exciting finish. The, win put usin the 'B' finals. | Our opponent was Parkdale, the same team we met in the identical situation last year, it was De ja vu all over again. After an interesting rendition of 'O Canada' our gang looked lifted and ready to rock. Tyson Savage sent Cassidy Weber in on a breakaway to lift the puck in to open the scoring. Pearce Auction came right back with a pretty passing play which saw Tyson Savage pass up to Cassidy who fed it in front to Ashley Lucas who made no mistake.

Ayr scored later in the first to tie it and went ahead early in the second frame.
