The Scotiabank Barrie AA Bantam Colts opened their season at
the Garden City Early Bird tournament in St Catharines this past weekend.
In game 1 the Colts picked up the win against a tough Glancaster team. Reece Thompson sealed the 4-2 W with an empty net goal, his third of the game.
Game 2 saw a late rally fall short as the Colts fell 5-4 to the Oakville Rangers Blue team.
Saturday the Colts bounced back with a convincing 5-1 win over West Niagara.
Next up was a must win against the Burlington Cougars. Barrie came out flying and put up a convincing 6-0 win. 6 different goal scorers found the back of the net and Jack Giroux picked up the shutout. The win secured a birth in the final against the undefeated Brantford 99ers.
Barrie battled hard in the Sunday morning contest but fell short in a tough 3-2 loss, picking up a sliver medal in their first action this year.
The Colts open their regular season Thursday Sept 12th in Newmarket.
