Stratford’s Best Western The Parlour Historic Inn and Suites Major Peewee MD’s qualified for the semi-finals in the Cambridge Festival of Friendship Tournament. They played a strong game against the East/Central MD league leading Waterloo Ice Wolves but came up against some questionable calls acquiring 26 minutes of penalties. The Ice Wolves capitalized on this and scored their only two goals when the Warriors were short-handed. It was an exciting game with the entire team playing their best game of the week-end. Despite the loss the Warriors felt like they could compete with this team and hold their own!
The Warriors started the tournament with a resounding loss against the Ice Wolves being trounced 8-1. Anthony Gioia had the only goal unassisted. Their second game against Kitchener Blue was another loss 4-2 with Jacob McPherson scoring from Liam Westman and Jack Ratz. Westman scored another unassisted. The Cambridge Tournament is structured to allow teams to gain points for winning in each period so despite a tie 3-3 in their third game against Cambridge Hawks, the Warriors moved on to the semi-finals. Goals were scored by Liam Westman assists to Anthony Gioia and Owen Brooks, Brooks from Peter Williams and the third one from Jacob McPherson unassisted. The team’s next tournament is in Burlington in two weeks.
