Black Comes Up Just Short on Perfect Season.
Brampton Black scratched and clawed their way back into the finals, after they tied Barrie in game three, and won games four and five. This forced an additional game six, which was do or die for both teams. Unfortunately, Brampton Black came up short, as they lost the game.
It was a tough blow for the team, but the boys should still be proud as they had an amazing season. They finished first in the regular season, won all three of their tourneys, and worked hard right up till the end of the season.
"I have never been more proud of a team" coach Luddington said. "From our August training camp right up until now they worked hard and developed themselves as players and people."
Barrie also deserves a lot of credit. They have an excellent team and really bought into a team system. They forecheck and backcheck harder than anyone. That's why they won the championship.
And Brampton Black wasn't the only successful Brampton team. The Gold team overcame the loss of two players early on, and still had a fantastic season, winning a tourney and making it all the way to the semi-finals.
And so, our season comes to an end. Let us thank the people at Brampton Hockey and York-Simcoe Hockey for organizing such a great season for us. It was a lot of fun!
See you next season!
