Flyers Earn Critical 3-1 Win Over Wingham Ironmen


The Goderich Flyers secured a crucial 3-1 victory over the Wingham Ironmen on October 5th, regaining momentum in what could be a turning point for their season. With strong defensive play and excellent goaltending from Brady Galbraith, the Flyers delivered a complete team effort to overcome a tough Wingham squad. This win provides a huge confidence boost as they continue their push up the standings.

First Period: Early Wingham Strike, Flyers Push Back
Wingham opened the scoring at 12:34 after a pinching Goderich defense led to a 2-on-1 the other way, with Micah Kraayenbrink finishing the play. Goderich, however, responded well with good pressure in the Wingham end and several scoring chances, though none were converted. Captain Carson Stutzman set the tone physically, and Galbraith made key saves to keep the Flyers in it.

Second Period: Flyers Turn Momentum
Goderich tied the game at 6:13 when a strong forecheck created a turnover deep in the Wingham zone, allowing Kingston Powell to find the back of the net. Just 12 seconds later, a defensive breakdown by Wingham led to a 2-on-0 for the Flyers, and Leland Weber sniped it top corner to give Goderich the lead. The period was less physical but full of quality chances for Goderich, with both goals the result of hard work in the Wingham zone. Forward Iain MacIsaac was helped off the ice after the second period due to injury.

Third Period: Flyers Hold Strong, Carter Seals It
Goderich displayed excellent defensive play in the third, especially on a 5-on-3 penalty kill that kept Wingham off the board. Trent Carter put the game away at 19:19 with an empty-net goal after a scramble in the corner, assisted by Stutzman. The Flyers’ defensive effort was solid throughout, and Galbraith’s goaltending was spectacular.

Final Thoughts
This was a critical momentum-building win for the Flyers. The team showed resilience, strong defensive play, and stellar goaltending. With a great penalty kill and a determined team effort, Goderich earned this 3-1 victory, putting them back on track as they look ahead to important games this week.
