U16 A Barrie Colts win Championship of hometown Peggy Hill Classic Tournament !
It was a weekend of high emotions and hard fought battles but the U16 A Barrie Colts came out as victors of the Peggy Hill Classic Tournament.

The team won 3 of out 4 of their round robin games and placed second going into the semi-finals. In the semis, they played against a team from eastern Ontario, the Cassleman-Embrun Icedogs. This game was the talk of the tournament because of how it ended. After 3 regulation time periods, the game ended in a 3-3 tie and went into overtime. After the first OT, the score remained tied. Then the OT format continued with 4-on-4, then 3-on-3, then 2-on-2 and if emotions weren’t already on overdrive, we went to an extremely tense 3 minute 1-on-1 match.  It took an unprecedented 6 OTs before we sniped in the winning goal! The time sheet noted the winning goal in the 9th Period! After that emotional rollercoaster, it was on to the finals against the only team that beat us in the round robin, the Cambridge Hawks.  As the clock was ticking down to the end of the 3rd period, it was tied 1-1.  But our boys never gave up, as we sealed the championship with another goal and a sweet empty netter! Congratulations to the boys for their passion and teamwork, and to the coaches for bringing the best out of them.
