The U12 AA Blue Rangers traveled to participate in the Hespeler Shamrocks Early Bird Tournament this past weekend.
To say that there was parity in this group, would be putting it mildly. The boys battled hard in the Saturday night semi-final game to win 3-1 over the Milton Winterhawks to advance to the finals on Sunday vs the Glancaster Bombers. On Sunday, in the tournament finals, the team battled to a 0-0 tie at the end of regulation. Coming up short in a heartbreaker, Glancaster was able to pot the OT goal 3:31 into the extra frame. This group of athletes held the competition to only 6 goals against in 5 games over the weekend. The coaching staff is extremely encouraged by the strides that have been made since the start of training camp. The U12 AA Blue Rangers kick off their regular season on Monday September 30th when they host the Flamborough Sabres at Trafalgar Park.
