Wayne Gretzky International Tournament Champions
Incredible Team Effort!

These young athletes competed against some really tough competition with all the games being decided by a few goals. After finishing 3rd overall in the round robin, they went on to beat the 2nd place team 5-1 in the semi-final to advance to the finals and play the 1st place team. This final game against a tough defensive opponent was one that tested our ability, but in the end, the Rangers succeeded by carrying a 3-0 lead into the later part of the 3rd period. Some penalties in the last five minutes, and the opponent pulling their goalie, had us battling a 6 on 4 all the way to the end. This tremendous group of players managed to kill the penalties and win the finals to receive their gold medal and Championship banner.
