Caledon Hawks peewee A team captures silver in Montreal

December 19, 2013 · 0 Comments

Caledon Hawks peewee A squad travelled to the Can/Am Montreal Tournament over the Dec. 6 to 8 weekend, and brought home silver medals.
Not only did they play four games before vying for the hardware, they also participated in skills competitions. The Relay Team, which had been selected by the team, captured first in the speed skating competition.
The team ranked first in their division with three wins and a tie.
The first game saw the Hawks battle their neighbours, the NobleKing Knights, winning 4-3.
Their toughest opponents were the Willowdale Blackhawks. Parents and fans were on the edges of their seats when, with mere minutes left in the game, the Hawks tied the score at 2-2.
The third game Saturday was scoreless until late in the third period against the Markham Islanders. The Hawks pushed hard against their opposition, resulting with the two markers on the board for them, and their first shutout of the tournament.
The last game in the series pitted the Hawks against the East Coast Wizards, the only American team in their pool. The Hawks used their magic to stun the Wizards, earning a 4-0 victory.
These games put the boys in Sunday’s final game, to battle the Kitchener Jr. Rangers for the hardware.
The Rangers were on the board first, but the Hawks fought to tie the game. The players put forward their best skill, executed their efforts as a team together, displayed great sportsmanship and proudly walked away with silver medals.
Congratulations to the team on the victory, and thanks to all the parents and sponsors for their support.
