Novice A Blue Brings Home Gold!
Congratulations to the Whitby Wildcats Novice A Blue team for their championship title this past weekend at The Peter Mancuso Tournament in Niagara Falls. The tournament started for the boys early Friday morning with a tie against Markham 2- 2. Next up for the Wildcats was Welland who put up a tough battle in their home arena but the boys found a way to pull out a 2 - 1 win. We had to get up early again to face a team we already faced a day earlier but this time the team was ready and battled to a 3 – 2 victory. We then headed into the semi-finals vs Bradford confident after rounding out our preliminaries 2 – 0 – 1 but we knew the task at hand wasn’t going to be easy.
The game was intense and we had quite a few opportunities to score but the boys only needed the 1 goal to come out with a 1 – 0 win and a trip to the finals. The finals were a back and forth affair, great up and down action and the boys played the game of the year beating Milton 3 – 1 to take home the title of Tournament Champions. As a staff we would like to thank the families of this team for their continued support of these boys all weekend long and can’t wait to see what is ahead for these boys on this awesome journey.
