RED & WHITE CHAMPS ..., News (TCDMHA)

With a 3 - 1 - 0 record, and only 2 Goals Against ... "AWESOME LAWSON" was named Tournament MVP and the 'Air-Tech Mechanical' Bantam Rep Rebels are the BANTAM B CHAMPIONS of the 39th Annual Schomberg RED & WHITE Tournament.


Game 1 – Friday @ 5pm vs  Schomberg Red Wings     1 – 0 Loss
It was an even match-up with excellent goal tending at both ends, but the Red Wings were the ones that got lucky.


(The Rebels are lucky this year to have our "Arran-Elderslie Trio", with Mitch Faust and Lawson Cumming joining the returning Danny Rourke.  The boys and their families have fit right in with our group and are a definite asset to the team.) 
Game 2 – Saturday @ 12pm vs   Millbrook Stars    3 – 1 WIN
The crowd went wild as Mitch Faust netted the Rebels’ first goal of the tournament, assisted by Calvin Stewart. Jake Moran battled for the puck in the corner and managed to send it to the net for a tap in by Carson Torrie, and goal # 3 went tic-tac-toe from Mitch Stevens – Torrie – Clay Krueger for the shot.

 
Game 3 – Saturday @ 4pm vs  Mitchell Meteors     1 – 0 Shutout WIN
Lawson Cumming continued to perform and defend the Rebels net.
Halfway through the 2nd period, Curtis Wade passed the puck from behind the net, to Austin King at the goal line. With a wrist shot/flip, he sent the puck up and over the goalie for what ended up to be the lone goal of the game … and it was enough to send the boys onto the B Championship on Sunday.


After another great night of team bonding, an 80’s dance party, the time change and a day of shopping we headed back to the rink.

 





Championship – Sunday @ 4:30pm vs   Orangeville Flyers    3 – 0 Shutout WIN
It was an exciting game from start to finish, full of breakaways, penalty shots, penalty killing, game suspensions and strategic coaching.
Mitch Faust scored a beauty to get the Rebels on the board right away, assisted by Wyatt Golem.
Midway through the 2nd, the Rebels successfully killed off a 5 minute penalty and just as the final seconds ticked away Cory Rasmussen cleared the zone, Jordan Beirnes booked it to the bench from the penalty box and Calvin Stewart flew out the other door, grabbed the puck on a breakaway and SCORED! With 4 minutes left in the 3rd, Rasmuessen shot from the point intentionally wide, and Carson Torrie tipped it in for some added insurance. (Thanks to my text-chain of hockey moms for this game’s play by play, it was just like being there!)
