The Kitchener Jr Rangers Minor Atom MD Red team won Gold at the Wayne Gretzky International tournament in Brantford over the Christmas break!!!  For the second tournament this year it was an all Kitchener finals with Red facing off against Blue.

Blue came into the finals undefeated in 1st place and Red came in with one loss in 2nd place.  This was the making of another strong Kitchener finals!  Way to represent your city boys!!  

Red showed up ready to hustle, dig and play strong to win.  The boys worked hard and came away with the first goal. They also fended off a 5 on 3 penalty kill.  Red scored a second goal to make it 2-0.  Blue battled hard and scored in the 3rd period.  The final score was 2-1 with Red taking the GOLD!!! 

To top off a fantastic win and hard work the boys were treated to a limo ride by Coach Mike.  They also got to meet Walter Gretzky who took individual pictures with the boys, signed the backs of their medals and then posed for a team picture.  It was an amazing experience.

Way to go boys - you made your coaches and parents extremely proud!
