U16BB BRINGS HOME SILVER FROM THE DOUG ROBINSON ALL STAR CHALLENGE IN WEST NIAGARA
A Big Congratulations to our U16BB team on bringing home the silver this past weekend. Finalists in a competitive 8 Team Tourney is a great accomplishment.
Competition was stiff throughout the round robin as Newmarket faced off against the West Niagara Flying Aces (the host team), the Guelph Gryphons (last years OMHA champions) and the Burlington Bulldogs.
Going 1-1-1 including a shutout against Niagara and recording a tie against Guelph was enough to squeak us into to semi finals. Facing off against Caledon Red we played one of our best games of the season and at the end of regulation we had a 0-0 tie. In 5 minute sudden death Overtime, with about 50 seconds left Newmarket scored to propel us into the finals against Burlington. Burlington unfortunately bested them this time and they took home the silver medal!
The parents and coaches are extremely proud of the effort our team gave, how the players bonded over the weekend and how this team continues to demonstrate their "never give up" attitude.
Congrats U16 BB!
GO RENEGADES GO!!!!!!!!!
