Minor Bantams Win Bantam Trophy in Detroit

A very determined Minor Bantam Braves team set out to Detroit this weekend to play in the Fire Bolt Tournament. The boys were slotted into the Bantam AA division by the organizers but these 13 year old boys were not going to let that stop them. On Friday they played a well fought game against the Columbus Blue Jackets and came out on the losing end of a 2-1 game. On Saturday morning they came out to play the Nobleking Knights and won 2-0, then defeated the Northbrook Bluehawks 3-2 a few hours later. Their most physical game was played Sunday morning against the Indy Racers. The boys came out with some bumps and bruises, but defeated the Racers 2-1, leading them to the finals to again play the Columbus Blue Jackets, who were undefeated in the tournament. Our boys came out of that game as champions as they defeated the Blue Jackets 3-1.  All lines contributed to this tournament win including forwards, defencemen and goalies.  It was a total team effort.
