2008/09 Team News
|
On the weekend of February 6,7, and 8, 2009 , the Oakridge Aeros Minor Pee Wee Tier II hockey team traveled to Oshawa, Ontario for the Annual Oshawa Heritage Hockey Tournament. The first game Friday night was a nail biter with a strong Oakridge start against a determined Markham squad. Unfortunately Markham prevailed 7-4 with an empty netter.
Saturday morning the squad faced a strong Caledon team that had previously beat Markham. The boys played very well with great passing and back checking . The Aeros ended up on the winning side 5-4 with a gutsy defensive finish to preserve the win. The round robin format left Oakridge in a three way tie, with the Aeros placed in the "C" Semi Finals based on a point system.
Late Saturday night they played the host squad from Oshawa, in the semi final. The game went back and forth, but with strong goaltending, defense and a balanced scoring attack the Aeros advanced to the Final with a tough 4-2 victory.
Sunday morning had the Aeros matched up with a team from Brampton, Ontario in the Championship game. The game was scoreless through two periods with the Aeros out chancing the opposition, only to be stopped by a strong goalie and two goal posts . At the other end of the rink the defense limited the scoring chances and Sean V. came up big when needed. Finally in the third period the dam broke and Oakridge scored a nice goal off a goal mouth scramble, and then iced the cake with a breakaway goal by R.J......... top shelf! 2-0 Oakridge !
The unselfish approach by all the players proved to be most successful. Congratulations !!!
