The Minor Midget Mississauga Braves came home with the championship banner from the 25th Annual Stoney Creek Tournament of Champions on November 16th. Having lost their first game to the home team 2-1 on Thursday evening, the Braves stepped it up Friday, winning 4-2 against Tecumseh. The resulting 1 and 1 record forced an elimination game Saturday afternoon against the Clarence Mustangs, which saw the Braves come out on top 2-1 in a tight game. Saturday's quarter final match against GTHL rival Humberview proved to be another nail-biter, in which the Braves prevailed 3-1, including an empty-netter. During Sunday's semi final match up against Whitby, who had allowed only 2 goals against in 3 games, the Braves took their game to the next level, scoring a 3-0 victory. With the Braves heading to the finals, who should show up, but the Stoney Creek Warriors, who had dealt the Braves a defeat in the opening game. Ready for the show down, a determined Minor Midget team shut the door once again, scoring a 3-0 Championship victory. With everyone contributing, the Minor Midgets made the trip down the QEW well worth it — competing for 5 straight wins, capped off with back-to-back shutouts to close off a tremendous Championship weekend.
