Zurich Thunder Tournament
"B" Championship Finalists

Travelled to Zurich for our holiday tournament and used the first game to get rid of the Christmas Turkey!  After remembering "how" to play hockey, the boys showed up with their A game to beat Durham Region 2-1 to advance to the "B" finals.  The coaching staff encouraged the boys to bring an aggressive, physical play from the Durham game to Friday's final against Mitchell.   The WHOLE team stuck to the game plan and proved that they can compete with any team!  They battled hard for three periods, ending 0-0 at the end of regulation play.  During OT, an odd bounce and questionable call gave Mitchell the win, but the coaching staff was VERY PROUD of all 14 players' efforts, determination and PLAYING WITH HEART throughout the last two games.  The last two games were a pleasure to watch as our boys showed the competitive level that we know they have within them.  Bring those games for the rest of the season and positive outcomes will follow.
The Coaching Staff

P.S.  Our progression is picking up: first tournament we had no wins and no points; second tournament we got one tie and ended up in third; third tournament, we got a GREAT win and an AWESOME OT loss in the final; and last tournament is all P-Towns!!
