Stratford 4 - Waterloo 3
Missing three players with no callups available, the Stratford Scotiabank Major PeeWee AA's clinched a berth in the League Championship with a dramatic come-from-behind 4-3 overtime victory over Waterloo.

Stratford needed only a tie to clinch and were fortunate to escape the first period down 1-0 after a powerplay goal by Waterloo. Waterloo then scored a shorthanded goal with two players in the penalty box. Riley Walsh scored on the powerplay from Evan James and James Wilson but Waterloo roared back with their second poweplay goal to take a 3-1 lead. Tim Clay scored before the end of the second period with assists to Colton Fountain and Wilson. With just under three minutes remaining and trailing 3-2, Wilson scored on a wraparound to force overtime. Waterloo drew another penalty and Walsh fired a wrist shot from the point that eluded the goalie.

Although not a chippy game, there were fourteen minor penalties called and good sportsmanship was displayed by players from both teams. Stratford will face either London Green or Brantford for the league title.
