Kitchener Early Bird AA Tournament
September 9-11/2016

This past weekend found our Bantam Huskies AA/A team competing in the Kitchener Early Bird Tournament.



The boys played their first game as a full team on Friday. Ian Rush opened the game with a goal in the second period , Kitchener came back in the third with one and we finished tied 1-1 with the Kitchener Rangers Blue. On Saturday afternoon they came out strong against the New Hamburg Huskies and pulled off a 5- 2 win. Saturday night the boys squared up against the Kent Cobra’s and came up short in the end with a score of 4-1 in favour of the Cobra’s. After the round robin our Huskies finished 4th and had to match up against the 1st place Stratford team. We got a slow start in the first period and were down 1-0 going into the second. In the second period we came out strong and managed to get back to back goals by Rush and Campolo to put us in the lead. The Stratford team answered back almost as quick and the game was tied. In the third period our boys continued to battle and were unable to find the net even with a 5 on 3 advantage. It looked as though we were headed to overtime…UNTIL…Campolo and Agostino headed to the net with seconds left in the third period…a beautiful pass by Campolo and the puck found the stick of Agostino who had a great shot to win the game with just one second left on the clock. What an exciting moment and a great display of teamwork from the long time team mates as well as goal tender Oliveira, to send the Huskies to the Championship Game! Here they would face off against the Kent Cobra’s where they would fight to redeem the loss from the previous day. Our boys came out strong and stayed that way for the game. Great efforts were made by all the boys to bring us to our 3-0 win and claim the title of tournament champions. Goals by Murphy who found the net twice, and Taylor, kept our boys on top, while stellar goal tending by Faber led to a shutout! What a great way to start our season and a great finish to our first tournament. Congrats to our boys and our coaching staff on a great Championship Win!!!
