The final game of the season for the Lambton Shores Predators will be this Saturday at The Shores Recreation Centre. The puck will drop at 7:45 PM when the Predators take on the Sarnia Legionnaires. Since moving to Lambton Shores the team has not managed a win against Sarnia. They are hoping to end that streak and continue to build on any success next season. Their second last game is a make up game for one that was postponed earlier in the season in Chatham. They will take on the Maroons Friday night at 8:00 P.M. at the Memorial Arena. Prior to those two games the team will have played against the Rockets again in Strathroy on Tuesday.
