Peewee 1 Wins Simcoe Region Championship
Thursday March 29th, 2012 - The much anticipated series between the Nobleking Knights Peewee #1 and Peewee #3 teams ended in an exciting and exhausting Game 5. Peewee #3 started strong taking the first two games of the series. Down 2 games but not to be beaten, Peewee 1 came back with a ‘never-say-die’ attitude. With outstanding teamwork from forwards Marco Arnone, Alex Wyndham-West, Xavier Romeo, Andrew Oppedisano, Angelo Macedo, Arik Kimber, Matt McNulty, and Luca Zambon, some spectacular goaltending by Ethan Cooney and vigorously defended by David De Cassan, Zachary Mendes, Matt English, and Owen Cummings they took the next two games. Tied at 2 games apiece, both teams dug deep in Game 5 with neither team on the scoreboard in regulation time. Five minutes into overtime and still tied at 0, Peewee 1 drove down the ice and our Captain, Marco, buried a rebound to win the game. Special thanks to our amazing coaching staff, Brian Cooney (head coach), Rob De Cassan (assistant coach), Val Oppedisano (trainer), Rose Kimber (manager) and Todd English. Thanks to the Peewee#3 team for such an exciting final playoff series.
