Lengthy Shoot-out Win Caps Tournament Championship


Championship payback doesn't get anymore exciting than this.

Milton Canadian Champion

Eager to distance themselves from a 3-0 first round loss to the Tillsonburg Tornadoes at October's Caledonia Challenge Cup, Milton's Bantam A reeled off four straight wins.

Among them was a title rematch with the Tornadoes that was clinched in nail-biting fashion.



That's something of an understatement, after Winterhawks netminder Brayden Wesseling made eight straight shootout saves before teammate Scott Martini sealed the deal with a top  shelf deposit.

The teams battled to a 3-3 stalemate in regulation, with nothing resolved in sudden death.  Tillsonburg drew a late penalty and - with the goalie pulled - forced overtime with less than a minute remaining.

Alex Brown had a goal and an assist in the final, while also scoring were Nathan Sherwood and William Lalonde.

A late third-period goal by Lalonde punctuated a 3-2 semifinal win over the Ingersoll Express.  In net for the narrow victory was Luke Crowley.

Crowley and Wesseling each had a Shutout following the tournament-opening defeat.
