The team was undefeated in the round robin stage with wins over the USA Patriots, Long Island Arrows and Burlington Eagles Gold. Our record, combined with our GAA gave us the 1st seed of the 16 teams invited to the tournament. Unfortunately, it also gave us a playoff match-up against the #23 ranked
AA team in the province. After going out to a 1-0 lead, the game got away from us and ultimately turned into a 6-1 loss to the eventual champion Cambridge Hawks. Despite the loss, the boys (and parents/siblings) had a great weekend full of laughs and memories at the
Best Worst Western hotel!

Another tournament, another championship and the chance to do something really special - win an International Silver Stick Championship! An undefeated run in the round robin phase of the Brampton Regional Silver Stick led to a semi-final tilt against Milton that Oakville won 4-1. That set-up a final against the Innisfill Winterhawks who were also undefeated.
The score was 1-1 headed into the 3rd period with goalies from both teams stealing the show. Finally, a great forecheck and some tough rebound work in front created the game winner for Oakville. Oakville will now join Hespeler, Owen Sound, Burlington Gold, Cambridge and 11 other teams January 10-13 in Port Huron, Michigan to compete for the International Silver Stick!

While it was nice to win our 2nd tourney of the year, the fun that was had and the memories that were made are far more important than the championship banner. To be fair, our competition was not that strong but the boys played well and demonstrated good sportsmanship en route to an undefeated tourney where we outscored our opponents 35-1.
Fun on the beach, Panthers vs. Blackhawks, Thanksgiving dinner, shenanigans at Stingers, late night sing-alongs on the beach with Willy, terrorizing Ray the security guard/electrician and hanging with parents and players from AA Red were all definite highlights. Way to go Rangers!

The Oakville Rangers 04A Red team avenged a tournament round robin defeat at the hands of the Milton Winterhawks by beating them 5-3 in the final of the Halton Hills Best of the Best Tournament. After having made it to the final of the team's first tournament in St. Catherine's and bowing out to a tough Burlington squad, our boys were not to be denied this time around. Congrats boys - well deserved!
