The U12 AAA Eagles were crowned champions of the 2026
Oakville Winter Classic after an outstanding tournament performance.
The boys advanced to the playoffs with a 2–1 record in
round-robin play, earning wins over the Central Ontario Wolves and the Leigh
High Valley Phantoms, with their lone loss coming against the Toronto Titans.
Sunday tested both skill and resilience, as the Eagles
played three demanding games back-to-back. They opened the day with a
convincing 6–1 victory over the Toronto Red Wings, followed by an exhilarating
overtime win against the Ottawa 67’s. That set the stage for a hard-fought
final against the Toronto Young Nationals.
After falling behind 1–0, the Eagles showed tremendous
character, battling back with goals from Alexander Martin and Oscar James to
secure a thrilling 2–1 championship victory.
Congratulations to all the players, coaching staff, parents,
and supporters who cheered on our Eagles throughout the weekend. Your
commitment, dedication, and belief in one another made this championship
possible.
