Minor Bantams at the Marlies tournament

The team finished 2nd in its pool after playing Pittsburg Hornets, Vaughan Kings, Ajax-Pickering Raiders and Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs; placing 5th in their 16 team conference. This placement advanced the team to the divisional playoff round against the Mississauga Rebels, where they dropped a close 3-2 game to the Rebels, ending their run at this year’s tournament. The Minor Bantams represented the EOMHL with some well played hockey while the tournament proved to be a good barometer for the competitiveness of the 67's relative to its provincial rivals.
Major Bantam 96’s at Toronto Marlboros Holiday Classic
The Major Bantams had a strong showing at this year's tournament. The team advanced from the round robin play as the 5th seed out of their pool. In the playoff qualifying round, the Major Bantams out battled a strong skating team from Tampa Bay and won a very exciting double overtime game 3-2. In the Quarter finals, the 67's faced the #1 ranked team in Ontario, the Mississauga Rebels. The team played a hard fought defensive game, backed by superlative goaltending, to take the Rebels into overtime before losing 2-1 to the tournament champions. Congratulations to the players and coaching staff on a great tournament.
Minor Midget’s Go to the Semis
The Minor Midget team faired very well at the prestigious Toronto Marlies hockey tournament held over the Christmas break. The team went 4-0 in round robin play allowing a mere 2 goals against. The four wins in round robin play were 2-0 vs. Kingston, 5-0 vs. North York, 5-1 vs. Brampton, and 3-1 vs. Waterloo. The team was ranked 1st overall after the round robin play out of the 54 participating teams with a percentage of .882%.
In the quarter finals the team faced 7th ranked Halton and defeated them by a score of 3-2. Only 3 hours later the team played their 3rd game of the day facing Whitby in the Semi-finals and lost a hard fought game 3-2 with only 11 players on the bench because of injuries. The team played extremely well with solid goaltending and team play. Hats off to the players, they gave it their all. The coaching staff is very proud of them.
Congratulations to all three teams for your hard work at the Marlies Tournament!

The J.R. Raine “AAA” Trainer of the Year winner Phil Jago or “Doc” as the players have nicknamed him was the trainer for the Jr. 67’s Minor Midget team this past season and Major Bantam trainer in the previous season. Phil is a non-parent who is passionate about his volunteering with the organization and gives freely of his time to make sure the players are well taken care of both on and off the ice.
Philip Brougham from the Jr. 67’s Major Midget team received one of the two “AAA” Educational Bursary Awards. Phil not only had to provide an application with his school transcripts but he also had to appear before the selection committee for an interview to win this award. Phil hopes to attend Western University next year. Congratulations Phil and to Nick Seed the other bursary winner from the Upper Canada Cyclones.
The Manager of the Year Award went to Susan Vered. Susan’s son was picked up by the Ottawa Valley Titans during the Major Midget draft last season and Susan stepped up to the plate to manage the team. She was instrumental in making sure that their team was able to ice a team utilizing 55 affiliates throughout the season. Susan certainly earned her award this past season as the Manager of the Year.

“I am grateful for the support the AAA Pilot project received today from Minor Council,” said Andy Baird, the chair of the Steering Committee which oversaw the three-year AAA Pilot Project.

What a way to mark Hockey Day in Canada!
