Peewee 1 Stars "B" Champs in Apsley!
On Saturday, the Peewee#1 Stars travelled to Apsley to take part in the Flames Fall Festival Peewee LL Tournament and finished as "B" Champs.

They opened the day against the Kawartha Coyotes, defeating them 5-2, to advance to the Winner's side of the bracket.  Evan led the way with a hat trick, sandwiched by goals from Tyler and Luke. Adam picked up an assist.  Evan was named Game MVP.

With a chance to advance to the "A" Final on the line, the Stars faced the Apsley Flames.  The host team proved to be a tough competitor, downing the Stars 5-2, leaving them to play in the "B".  Goals were scored by Luke and Sam, with assists by Evan, Zack and Pearson. Logan earned Game MVP honours.

In the "B" Final, they were up against the Clarington Stingers.  It was a close game, with end to end action, and stayed deadlocked at 0-0 until midway through the 1st, when Luke managed to break through and open the scoring.  Clarington scored to tie it up again with 30 seconds to go in the 1st.  Late in the 2nd, Pierson put one in to take the lead and the Stars never looked back, picking up an insurance goal from Sam to seal it.  They had quite a scare late in the 3rd when Hudson had to leave the game after being hurt in a goal crease skirmish.  Nolan W. fearlessly strapped on the pads and with the help of some very strong play from our D core, managed to preserve the lead and get the win.  Final score 3-1 Stars.  Assists were picked up by Zack, Evan, Tyler and Nolan M.  Nolan W with his strong play on D and then in net, picked up the Game MVP Award.

It was a great day, full of fast exciting hockey. Way to go Stars, you played hard and earned that B Championship!
