Bantam LL, U15, 2010-2011 (Walkerton Minor Hockey Association)

Walkerton’s LL Bantams can look back on their season with pride.   While they did not ultimately emerge as the winner of the Champions Series, they did win the Northern Division Championship after sweeping the early round robin playdowns.

Visiting Kincardine for the opening of the league championship series Walkerton knew they were taking on a team that had finished ahead of them in regular season.  But they clearly did not let that intimidate them.

With 18 goals in two games Walkerton’s Power Workers Local League Bantams clinched their berth in the Championship series in impressive style.   What made the back to back wins even more impressive was the fact that they resulted in Walkerton sweeping the round robin playdowns.

It seems Walkerton’s Power Worker’s Local League Bantams picked the right time to get hot and are peaking at the best time.   With the home and away round robin series winding down, Walkerton has a realistic shot at making it into the Championship Series.  It won’t be easy, but with a 6 game winning streak on the line the Walkerton players have found themselves in a position to control their own destiny.   This was very much in evidence on Saturday, March 6th at their home game against Durham.  After a 5-3 loss to Walkerton, the Durham team came with some payback on their mind.

The Power Workers Union Local League Bantams have used the momentum from their big shutout win to finish the regular season and kept on rolling, racking up a 5 straight win record.  In round robin play off play Walkerton has recorded 4 straight wins making a strong bid to finish on top of their section.
