Minor Midget, 2018-2019, A (Brampton Hockey Inc.)

The playoffs came to a disappointing end when the 45s Minor Midget A team fell to Hespeler and their red hot goalie. With snow still on the ground the 45s decided to keep the season going by competing in the GTHLs Clancy Cup. 

The regular season came to an end on the weekend, with the 45's looking a bit rusty after a long holiday layoff. Overall, the team finished in 3rd place in the east loop and will face Centre Wellington and New Hamburg in the first round of the playoffs. Only the first team will advance to the next round of the OMHA prelims. "We are good enough to beat anybody, but bad enough to lose to anybody" coach Luddington said. "We're going to be working extra hard in practice this week to try to make sure the good version of our team shows up to play." The schedule for the first round should be ...

The Brampton 45s MMA team found themselves up against very stiff competition at the recent Kingston Tourney. Several top ten and top twenty Ontario teams were present. Every team was a good team. The tourney would be tough, but the 45s managed to turn a few heads when they managed to get ahead 3-1 against Stittsville in their first game. Unfortunately, a few defenses lapses tied the game up late in the third, and that's how the game ended.

The Brampton 45s Minor Midget A team got off to an excellent start, winning all three of their opening round games in the Stoney Creek Champions Tourney. Expectations grew with every win, and they put themselves in an excellent position going into the semi finals as the #1 seed.

They showed up at the Richmond Hill Mary Parkinson tournament as the dark horse. They left as finalists who came just short of winning it all. The team had only six returning players and nine players who played MD last year. But what the team lacked in experience and time playing together, they more than made up in desire. "I'm so proud of this team" coach Luddington said. "I don't think people's expectations of us were very high. But my kids can play and they really feel they have something to prove."
