Bantam AA Win it all in Mississauga

Another tournament championship for the Bantam AA team! This time it was the Paul Coffey Tournament hosted by the Mississauga Jets on December 27-30. The boys swept through the initial four games with winning scores of 7-0, 3-1, 15-1 and 7-1 which led them to the semi-finals. The opponents in the semi-final game held the leading score up to the last 33 seconds of the game when the Rangers tied it up and then won the game in the first 12 seconds of overtime. The boys went on to the final game against the Humberview Huskies and stole the show with a 3-0 win. Coach Sean was not surprised with the outcome of this tournament because of the boys’ hard work, top conditioning level and commitment to team defense. Sean described their performance in the tournament as top notch with 39 goals for and only 6 goals against to win the Championship. Well done boys!

January is upon us and for the Bantam AA there will many more challenges with 9 league games left and one or possibly two more tournaments to play or should I say win.
