Our Golden Hawks found themselves facing off against East Gwillimbury Eagles in the consolation championship game. Brent Conrod would find himself in net for the Golden Hawks. The first period began fast and furious with both teams holding their own, but the Eagles would strike first to end the period 0-1. As the second period began both goalies made stellar saves to keep their teams alive but Mighty Max Taylor would find the back of the net for Quinte West to tie the game. The eagles would respond quickly with one of their own to once again take the lead. Our Hawks were not giving up without a fight and Michael Villeneuve would receive a beauty pass from Spencer Tamlin to tie the game one more time to end the second period. As the third began both teams had multiple opportunities but no luck until Colby MacDonald found the back of the net and giving Quinte West the lead. The game would continue to go back and forth and in the last 2 minutes of the period the Eagles were able to sneak one by Conrod to end the third period tied. Overtime was an intense nail bitter that had all the fans on the edge of their seats but both teams would find themselves having no luck finding the net which then led us to an OT sudden death Shootout. First shooter for Quinte West was Colby MacDonald, both MacDonald and the Eagles shooter would score forcing another round. Next was Kye Ralph and the Eagles big shooter, both players would miss their shots and another round was needed. Our Captain Wade Robinson was shooting for the Hawks and came through with a goal! Conrod was staring down his opponent, looking for him to make the move and came through with a big save! The Golden Hawks were Champions!
