Kitchener Jr Rangers U18 Select - BCHL Tournament of Friends Champs!
Big Congratulations to the U18 Select team who went 6-0 this past weekend in Brantford to take home the BCHL Tournament of Friends Championship Banner!   

The Jr Rangers were in tough in the final game against a very skilled and fast squad, the Joran Lions, and found themselves trailing 3-1 with less than 8 minutes to go in the 3rd period. A marker with 6:05 remaining gave the boys some life, and with 0:43 left, and with the goalie out, the Jr. Rangers tied things up.    

After grueling 3 on 3, 2 on 2, and 1 on 1 overtime periods solved nothing, the Championship would be decided in a shootout. It took until the 10th round of the sudden death shootout where we found the back of the net, and got a huge save at our end to seal the deal.    Huge shout out to the goalie duo and defensive group who combined, gave up only 6 goals throughout the tournament, and our forwards who provided a balanced attack all weekend, and saw 3 of our skaters in the top 4 in tournament scoring.   Thank you to the BCHL Saints Organization for hosting a great weekend in Brantford!
