The Southern Maryland Sabres Bantam LA travel team completed its regular season on Sunday, February 23, defeating Tri-City Eagles, earning the 3rd position and a playoff spot in the Bantam LA Division of the Chesapeake Bay Hockey League. March 1st was the first playoff game against the #2 ranked NOVA Ice Dogs. After a hard battle this game ended in a 3-1 victory as the Sabres scored into an empty net to advance to the Championship Game.
The Sabres faced their biggest challenge as they hit the ice to play Richmond Royals, who had only lost once in the 22 game season and they had beaten the Sabres twice in regular season (5-3 and 9-2). Richmond scored a goal in each of the first two periods, leaving the Sabres down 2-0 and scoreless entering the final period of the game.
The Sabres finally hit the net 1 minute and 4 seconds into the 3rd period, and it was all uphill from there! Battling hard, the Sabres managed 2 more goal within the next five minutes to take a 3-2 lead. A lead they would never give up. The Southern Maryland Sabres Bantam travel team won the 2014 CBHL Lower Patrick Championship 3-2!
