The Barrie Colts Minor Atom AA team left no doubts about their dominance over the past weekend, travelling to Pittsburgh, and winning the Fall Classic with a perfect 5-0 record.
Finishing the 4 game round robin in 1st place, and outscoring their opponents by at least 5 goals in every game, the Colts came ready to play in the finals against the Mississauga Braves
In an extremely physical game the Colts jumped out to a 3-0 lead, with the scoring opened by Ryan Britton, Ruben Van Berkel and Rhyse Brown. The Colts continued to battle, but as the game marched on, the effects of having drawn a round robin game early Sunday morning began to set in. Mississauga scored 2 goals in the second period to bring the score to 3-2. Led by some key saves by Caiden Knight, the Colts fought through the adversity to finish the game 5-2, and win their first championship of the season.
