Quinte West Golden Hawks powered by Environmental 360 Solutions battled hard all weekend to bring home the Forest Hill U16AA tournament championship title. Falling behind in the semi finals 5-1 heading into the third, the team showed grit and determination coming from behind to win 6-5 with just 2 seconds left in the game. The final game versus Mississauga Beast resulted in a 2-2 tie at the end of the third period.
With no goals scored in overtime, the boys faced a shootout with goalie #74 Carr giving everything he had to fend off the opposition with two beautiful saves!! Both #15 Korver and #20 Peeters put the puck in the net to finish things off.
It was a long weekend of hockey for these boys finishing strong with a 6-1-0 record. Head Coach, Scott Scaletta, was beyond proud of the team’s comeback–as they kept everyone at the edge of their seats until the very end. “We did it! You earned this win. Remember, talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships. I'm so proud of every one of you!"
