Day three of the President’s Cup saw the first shutout of the tournament and saw a team remain perfect. Ajax-Pickering Rock blanked the Island Redmen 19-0 to go to 2-1 while Sherwood Park Outlaws beat the same Redmen team (16-1) earlier in the day to remain undefeated with a 3-0 record.
In other action, the host Woodsmen improved their record to 2-1 to keep pace with their Ontario counterparts by defeating six nations in a relatively low scoring affair at 9-5. This low score dropped Owen Sound to second in goals scored (tied with Sherwood Park) while Ajax-Pickering’s huge offensive outpouring vaulted them into first for goals scored and tops in the goals for/against differential. On the other side of the coin, the Island Redmen are worst in the tournament with only 9 goals scored but their 47 goals against is second worst to LaSalle Brasseurs’ 51 goals against. The fourth game saw Ladner Pioneers beat the team from Quebec, 12-5, to end LaSalle’s chances to advance and keep their own alive.
As the round robin portion of the tournament is set to wrap up today, the playoff picture began to take shape yesterday. In Group 1, the two Ontario teams, with their identical 2-1 record, will be moving on to the next round as LaSalle’s record is 1-3 and the Island Redmen (0-3) have yet to win a game. LaSalle has completed all their round robin games while the Redmen have one game remaining today. Group 2 is a little more open, other than Sherwood Park clinching a playoff berth. Ladner, at 2-1, should advance to the playoffs as they open play today against the 0-3 Redmen. Six Nations (1-2) will have a tough game against the Ajax-Pickering team in the second game today while Sherwood Park looks to remain perfect as they face Owen Sound in the late game today.

I will not be able to see the final games on Saturday but I am still uncertain of my plans for tomorrow so I may be able to see the semi-final games. Either way I may not post again until the tournament is over. Visit the website for web casts if you are interested. They are $9.95 plus taxes per game.
