09/10 Minor Atoms GTHL City Champs
The 2009-2010 Minor Atom Braves celebrate cap off an amazing season by celebrating their GTHL City Championship.
The Best From the West Win GTHL AA Championship
With two tournament championships, only two losses in the regular season, 17 shutout wins and not a single loss in the playoffs, this year’s Mississauga Minor Atom AA Braves are being referred to as the best Minor Atom Mississauga Braves team EVER. This team showed exceptional skill and depth all year and many nights put on a real show to the delight of the fans. After being crowned the Kraft Cup Champions for winning the West AA Division, these hard working athletes went on to defeat the Toronto Royals in 3 straight, they beat the Mississauga North Stars in the West Semis and then the Humber Valley Sharks in the West Final allowing each team only a single point in each series. The GTHL City Finals would prove to be a very exciting match up against the East Enders Ticats. Although they beat the Ticats in 4 games straight, the Ticats certainly put up a real battle in each of the games. Game 4 was no exception. Defenseman #4 Aidan Merulla would score first for the Braves but the Ticats fought back to tie the game.
U21 AAA Braves OHF Provincial Champions
The Mississauga Braves U21AAA hockey team celebrate their OHF Provincial Championship.
The Mississauga Braves U21 AAA journey to the top began in April when the team selected 9 new players from various teams to compliment the ten returning players. Under the guidance of Coaches Joe Zavaglia, Paul Iamundo and Vernon Gallant, the Mississauga Braves U21 AAA steadily progressed and stayed in the fight for the 2010 Kraft Cup. The turning point of the season came in Sarnia where the team travelled to defend its International Silver Stick. Although, the team was unsuccessful in defending its championship, they developed a camaraderie that could not be broken and a commitment to each other for the remainder of the season. The team was fighting an uphill battle all season with many obstacles to overcome throughout the season, but after losing the first game when they returned from Sarnia, the team came together. This group of young men buckled down and went on a 12 game winning streak to end the regular season and a tie for first place with the Leaside Kings in the highly competitive U21 AAA division. The two teams played an exciting one game playoff to see who would emerge as the Kraft Cup Champion. After falling behind 2-0, the tenacious Braves would not be denied. They began firing on all cylinders for the remainder of the game and came out on top 7-4.
The Braves finished as regular season champions with a record of

Alysia Da Silva of the 96 Mississauga Braves Minor Bantam Hockey Team featured as Toronto Star GTHL Player of the Week.
Alysia Da Silva of the Mississauga Braves minor bantam AA team is one of the fortunate players to have been chosen to carry the Olympic torch when the relay passes through Mississauga.
That is certainly special but it is not the only reason she was chosen to be highlighted as The Star's player of the week.
She is loyal and been with the Braves for her five years of competitive hockey and, yes, she is the only female at that level of competition in the minor bantam AA west division. She is an outstanding goaltender and at some point will probably jump to the female game. But so far "is just one of the guys."
Coach Roger Bourbonnais praised her performances as the starting goaltender when his team won the Ontario Hockey Federation gold medal last spring as they had as an atom team two years ago.
