The U15AA Burlington Eagles travelled to Aurora to play in the Joe
Bentolila Classic
The team had an impressive 2 - 1 -1 record in the round robin to
advance to the semi-finals.
We played a very good TOP Titans team in the semi-finals.
The boys played a great game and yet we were down 2-0 with just over two
minutes to play. We were able to score twice in the last two minutes to
send the game into overtime. It took us only 11 seconds to score the game
winner to send us to the finals.
The final game was one of the most exciting games I have
coached. We went up 2 -0 on the Markham Islanders. They tied it up
and sent the game into OT. We played 4 on 4 OT for three minutes.
We then played 3 on 3 OT for another three minutes and still no change to the
score. We played 2 on 2 for three minutes and still no change to the
score. The final was to be decided by a shootout. The format was
three shooters from each team. We scored on our first shot and our goalie
did not let a goal in. This is our first tournament victory of the
season.
A huge congratulations to all the players, coaching staff, and
fans who made this a weekend to remember .
