West London Tournament Champions
The Midget Select Kitchener Jr. Panthers go 5-1 on the
weekend and are crowned Tournament Champions.
The Jr. Rangers arrived in London on Friday looking to get
off to a good start and the boys delivered! A hard fought 3-2 win over NASC and
a dominant 4-1 win over North York got our feet moving and have us some things
to build on for a deep tournament run.
A 4-1 win of Stoufville on Saturday night after a tough loss to Chedoke earlier that day sealed our spot in the semi finals with a 3-1 records.
The semi finals saw us get the undefeated host team, West London Hawks for a 930am start. Despite the quick turnaround from our late game on Saturday, the boys came out flying to an early 3-0 lead and never looked back punching our ticket into the finals with a 5-0 win setting up a date with the Ancaster Avalanche.
A slower start in the finals was negated by a couple of huge saves and the Rangers once again jumped ahead to a 3-0 lead early in the second. A tighter checking second period and first 5 minutes of the 3rd period had limited chances either way.
The 6th game in 2 ½ days caught up with the rangers in the last 5 minutes giving up a couple of quick goals, but we battled through the final minute and took home the hardware!
This group really came together this weekend while showing a ton of resilience, perseverance, hard work from start to finish. – well deserved and congratulations!!
Your Coaches- Kyle, Brent, Claude and Sir Richard!
