Champions in Kingston!
Congratulations to the FurnaceDepot.ca PeeWee A White Barrie Colts on bringing home GOLD from the Kingston ‘PeeWee Series’ Tournament!

With 14 teams split between 2 pools, we went into this tournament knowing we would be facing some tough competition and needed to win all 4 games in the round-robin to advance to Sunday’s semi-final.

The boys came out strong on Friday, defeating the Leaside Flames 5-0 and the Quinte West Hawks. We knew Quinte was going to press us hard, as this was the rematch they were after since our Ajax Tournament Final in September. It was a very back and forth game, with Quinte quick to tie it every time we took the lead. Barrie battled hard and stuck to the game plan, defeating them 3-2!

Saturday the boys came out a little slow and found themselves down 2-0 to the Frontenac Flyers after the first. After intermission, the boys regrouped and came out a completely different team. They popped in 3 goals in the second and 3 in the third, for a final score of 6-3! Our final round-robin game was against the Toronto Eagles. It was a close, hard fought game, with a scoreless first period. Barrie got themselves on the board in the second and scored 2 more goals in the third, for a final score of 3-0!

Sunday morning’s semi-final saw them facing the Glanbrook Rangers, where Barrie dominated the game and won 6-1! Heading into the final against the Oakville Rangers, we knew it was going to take all 17 players to win. The boys took the play to Oakville in the first, ending the period up 1-0. Oakville pressed us hard in the second, but we were able to pop in a nice goal with 0:34 seconds left. After a back and forth third period, Barrie secured their second Championship victory with a final score of 2-0!

It was an amazing weekend overall, with the boys buying in and playing some great team hockey! We were strong between the pipes all weekend, with both goalies seeing shut outs and making key saves. Way to go boys! The coaching staff could not be more proud of all of you!

Thank you to the families for all of their support over the weekend and to our sponsor FurnaceDepot.ca! Thanks to their generosity, our team was provided with a hospitality room all weekend for the players and parents. We appreciate all of your support and contributions to our team thus far!

Go Colts Go!
