[edit] 2006-07 Pirates Season
Goderich, coming off an 8-17-0 season in 2005-06, improved a little bit, going 9-13-2, good for 7th in the WOAA South Division.
The Pirates were swept by the Ripley Wolves in the Sr. "A" quarter-finals, although the scores of the game were close, including a controversial goal scored by Ripley in overtime in the 3rd game of the series. After the goal, Pirates general manager Trevor Bazinet stormed onto the ice, had an argument with the referee, and ended up hitting him. South Bruce OPP were called to the game but the hockey official declined to press charges.
[edit] 2007-08 Pirates Season
Goderich would once again improve from their previous season, as they finished the year with a record of 11-15-0, earning 22 points. It was the Pirates highest win total and point total since the 1998-99 season.
The team would face the Thedford Dirty Dogs, in a best of 3 qualifying round, with the winner advancing to the WOAA "A" playoffs.

The Pirates fought back in the 2nd game in Thedford with a 4-1 victory, setting up a 3rd and deciding game back in Goderich. The Pirates would close out the series with a 7-1 rout, advancing to the "A" playoffs.
Goderich would face the defending "A" champions, the Durham Thundercats, in the "A" quarter-finals, and the Pirates lost the series opener 7-4, but followed it up with a solid 6-3 win in the 2nd game to even the series up. Durham took control of the series, holding off the Pirates 6-5 in the 3rd game, followed by a 6-4 victory in the 4th game, as they took a 3-1 series lead. Goderich played a very solid 5th game, winning 5-3 to cut the Thundercats series lead to 3-2, but Durham would close it out with 6-4 win in the 6th game, eliminating the Pirates from the post-season.
