Chicago Tournament
This past weekend, the Minor Peewee Wolves travelled to Chicago and played in the Bauer World Hockey Invitational tournament.  The team rode in style by team bus to Naperville Illinois, just outside of Chicago.  Games started on Friday:  the Wolves defeated Leafs HC 2-1 but lost to Cleveland 5-2.  Needing a victory on Saturday, the Wolves defeated Saginaw 2-1.  This qualified the team for the championship round.  Later that day, the Wolves began an impressive run with a 6-1 victory over the Long Island Royals.  

On Sunday, the Wolves won their quarter-final game 6-0 over the hometown favourite Chicago Blues.  Next, Waterloo beat the Lambton Jr. Sting 4-1 in the semi-finals.  This advanced the team to the finals:  the top two teams whittled down from 32 teams.  In a thriller, Waterloo beat the St. Louis based Affton Americans 1-0.  It was a real nail-biter, and a sweet victory.  Congratulations to the Wolves on this impressive tournament victory.  This is something to be truly proud of!  Thanks to our coaches, players, fundraising committee, social committee, parents and bus driver who made this an amazing weekend.  Long-lasting memories were created.  League play returns this week with games against Brantford and Elgin-Middlesex.
