Legion PeeWee Boys Win Mount Forest Tournament
by Andy Cormack
After a much needed win Friday night against Mitchell, the PeeWee Rep Legion Boys team travelled to Mount Forest to take part in the Legion Zone C-3 PeeWee tournament.
The boys continued their winning ways by sweeping their opponents aside and winning the tournament.
In their first game, the boys defeated the host, Mount Forest Rams. Nick Fairminer opened the scoring in the first period on an unassisted effort. The boys added three more in the second period to make the score 4-0. Scoring the goals were JP Kunkel, Tristan Zettel, and Dakota Weiler. Credited with assists were: Michael MAskill, Faiminer, Sam Lowry-Young and Jake Spitzig. The boys added two more in the third. Broder Currie (unassisted), and Weiler (from Noah Leslie). The Rams scord a late goal to make the final score 6-1.
In the championship game, backed by solid goaltending by Aiden Quish, the team utilized crisp passing and a strong forecheck to defeat the Durham Huskies 4-0. Hunter Zettler opened the scoring in the first on a goal assisted by Currie and Leslie. Zettel scored in the second period to put the Capitals up by two goals. Currie scored a power play goal in the third and Leslie added a goal of his own to make the final score 4-0.
While their names did not appear on the score sheets, also making significant contributions to the team's tournament victory were: Christopher Cormack, Ryan Girdler and MacKenzie McTeer.
The Capitals now qualify for the next Legion tournament to be held in Ripley in the New Year.
The team appreciates Terry Tilson and Walkerton Legion Br. 102 for their assistance in entering this tournament and on-going support.
