Buffalo Tournament Championship Finals
Congratulations to the Brampton Minor Peewee MD3 (Blue) hockey team, who were championship finalists in the 46th annual Gene Harrington Invitational Shootout Classic.

The team faced some early adversity, with a 6-0 loss to Hamilton on Friday morning.  Following that game, the boys headed to the Buffalo outdoor arena, and while wearing eye black to help with the glare, defeated Avenue Road 5-1.  They were positioned well for the playoffs, despite giving up a late power play goal in a 2-2 tie against Monroe Country in their final round robin game.

Up next was an early Sunday morning semi-final game vs. previously undefeated Oakville.  The Brampton team was well prepared, ready to play, and responded with a solid all-around effort.  The final score was a 2-0 shutout victory, and an on ice celebration.

They were then off to the championship final game, and a rematch against Hamilton.  The team had definitely bonded, were greatly improved, and not content to just make it to the final game.  Despite falling behind 2-0, there was no quit from the players, and they ultimately lost 4-2.  There were some tears, and heartache at losing in the finals.  The tournament, however, was wrapped up with smiles and joy as the players were presented their awards and then gathered on ice for team photos.

The players can all be proud of coming home with individual finalist trophies, as well as a large team trophy.  Well done to all the boys, and congratulations on crossing the border, to bring home some nice shiny hardware.

Well done!
