Congratulations to the West London Hawks Minor Peewee MD team for winning the 2016
MD Challenge Cupin Burlington! The Hawks went 4 and 1 in the tournament, including
2 hard fought wins over the Waterloo Wolves in the round robin and gold medal games.
The Hawks success was a result of amazing goal tending, unselfish passing and a
commitment to team defense. The boys overcame rough play, some questionable calls
and absent players in the last 2 games - all the while maintaining a positive attitude.
In the gold medal game, the on ice play from both teams was incredible. Passing and
goal tending gave us the edge, and we took a 2 - 0 lead into the 3rd. Waterloo scored to
make it 2 - 1, then tied it up with 40 seconds to go. Some teams would fold after giving up
the lead that late in the game. Not these Hawks.
4 on 4 overtime solved nothing. Shortly after the 3 on 3 overtime started, a big save,
a big pass and a clutch shot gave the Hawks the win! After 4 years - finally MD Cup champs!
This tournament win was a true TEAM accomplishment. The Coaches and families
could not be prouder of this team!
Way to go Hawks!!!
