MINOR MIDGET AAA WOLVES HAVE GOOD SHOWING AT OHL CUP
Even thought their record would dictate different the Minor Midget AAA Wolves had a strong showing at the OHL Cup. In game #1 the Wolves had a strong game vs Hamilton Jr Bulldogs. They outshot and out chanced them but couldn't find the net in a 3-0 loss. In game #2 vs Thunder Bay Kings the Wolves were a little flat and show tired legs from long playoff run and second game of the day. The Wolves fell 2-1 in OT. In a must win game #3 vis Niagara North the Wolves came out flying.
They got out to a 4-0 lead and led 4-1 after 2 periods. Niagara pushed back in the 3rd and closed gap to 4-3 and then Wolves replied to make it 5-3 and hold on for the win. In game #4 showdown vs. Toronto Jr Canadiens in a win and move on game for both teams turned out to be a very entertaining game. In the crowd watching was none other then Don Cherry and David Branch. Wolves got into penalty trouble on a few questionable calls in the first and fell behind 3-0. The Wolves showed great character and took over the game for the next 2 periods. Closed the gap to 3-2....and with just over 2 minutes left in game the refs gave Wolves a penalty. Ended in a tough 3-2 loss and season over.
This is a special group of players and had an amazing season. Very proud of these guys. And wish them all the best in their future hockey careers.
