MINOR BANTAM A WINS SILVER AT
DECEMBER VAUGHAN SILVER STICK
After playing 5 very exciting games, the Erindale M. Bantam A Spitfires
won Silver at the December 2013 International Silver Stick Tournament in
Vaughan. After losing their first game to Innisfil on a last minute goal, the
Spitfires bounced back defeating the Port Credit Storm and Nobleking
Knights to play the Willowdale Blackhawks in the semi finals. The two
teams went scoreless throughout an exciting regulation AND double overtime with the Spitfires eventually winning the game in a nail-biting shootout. The championship game was a very close 2-1 loss to the top-ranked
Toronto Aces resulting in the silver medal for the Spitfires.
CONGRATULATIONS to Minor Bantam A for a well-played tournament!
