Congratulations to the U15BB team on bringing home the silver
medal at the OMHA Championship this past
weekend in Windsor.
The team went undefeated in
round robin play with a 5-2 victory over Lasalle and a 5-0 victory over
Woolwich on Friday. The lone game on Saturday
saw the team earn a 2-1 victory over the defending OMHA champions Milton, making
them the first-place seed in their group.
This set the team up for a semi-final game against Haldimand on Sunday
morning. It was an exciting and tense
back and forth game, with the Generals coming out on top 4-3 to set up a
rematch against Milton in the finals. The
championship game took on a different tone than the round robin game, with Milton
obtaining a 4-1 lead in the first period.
Midway in the second period saw Milton go up 5-1. The team refused to give up and showed their
perseverance and determination by scoring two quick goals in the last minute of
the second period. The teams went into
the third period with Milton up 5-3. The
third period was an intense back and forth with Oshawa getting another goal
halfway through the third. Milton held onto
their lead against the Generals barrage, to earn a 5-4 win.
While
the result in the final game wasn’t the outcome the team had hoped for, the
players should be very proud of their accomplishment and successful season.
Thank you U15BB for representing Oshawa so well.
Congratulations to all the
players and coaching staff for the dedication and resolve they showed
throughout the tournament and this entire season. Thank you to all the parents and families for
a very memorable season!
