This followed strong performances in four previous wins â€" 4â€"1 over Streetsville, 4â€"1 over Brampton, 3â€"1 over Guelph and a 4â€"3 semiâ€"final victory over the surprising Streetsville Tigers who were outshot 43â€"13.

MINOR PEE WEE "AA" Oakville 3, Georgetown 3 OT (March 31): the Oakville Agway Metals Rangers are divisional finalists after tying two games and losing another by a one goal marâ€" gin in their final threeâ€"game series with Georgetown. All three games went into overtime and feaâ€" tured exciting, fast, hard hiuingr actig)x}l In the final game, Oakville‘s Mike Purcell fired in the opening goal on a nice back hand feed from Stuart Brown who had received the breakâ€"out pass from Mike Probyn. Georgetown scored twice during the remainâ€" der of the game and with only seconds to go, Oakville, on a power play, scored when Robert Kapuscinski digging in from behind the net, sent the puck to Stuart Matheson waiting in front, who passed across the crease to Stephen King who made no mistake in tucking in the tying goal and sending this third game into overtime. In overtime, Oakville marksman Stuart Brown was flying past the Georgetown defenceâ€" man when he was hit beautifully with a quick midâ€"ice pass from Mike Purcell for a breakaway. He neatly tucked in a backhand shot past a sprawling Georgetown netminder for the goâ€" ahead goal. With only four minutes remaining in the 10â€" minute overtime, Georgetown managed to score the tying goal on a scramble in front of the Oakville net. Oakville outshot and outplayed Georgetown throughout the game but couldn‘t regain the lead before time ran out. The tie guaranteed Georgetown the divisionâ€" al title. The team will play one last tournament in Buffalo before hanging the skates up on a very successful season.

Allâ€"star tournament wraps up Halton‘s allâ€"star high school hockey team began their pursuit of their own fifth annual Halton Challenge tournament with a 5â€"3 victory over the Guelph allâ€"stars Thursday night. Sunday‘s playoff round at Burlington‘s Central Arena features the two semiâ€"final games at 8 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. and the championship match at 1 p.m. Hamilton highâ€"tails it home It‘s not often a team gets away with a victory after only playing half a game. c But that‘s exactly what Halton‘s allâ€"star senior basketball team got away with in Tuesday‘s opening game of the Metro Toronto Regional Star Wars tournament. Literally. ~The 10â€"team tournament has Halton, Guelph, Scarborough, Oxford and Kawartha in one pool and Durham, Dufferin/Peel, Wentworth, Hamilton Separate and North York in the other. "Our draw is fairly difficult," said coach Gary Crocker of Oakville Trafalger, who is being helped behind the bench by Dave Singer. of Appleby College and Burlington hockey coach Jeff Johnstone. After Halton had forged a 44â€"33 halfâ€"time lead in the game at Sheridan College, the Hamilton allâ€"star team walked out of the tournament when an issue was made of them using six players from the strong Cathedral team. Tournament rules stipulate that four players is the maximum number allowed from a particular team. _ Advancing out of the pool round (which requires finishing in the top two) will likely require winning three of the four games, he explained. The Halton allâ€"stars warmed up with two exhibition matches last week, tieing Dufferin/Peel 4â€"4 and defeating Kawartha 6â€"2. Halton 5, Guelph 3 (Thursday night): for Halton it was Duncan Stewart (Oakville Trafalger) from Ben Esco‘t (Aldershot) and Dan Cowburn (M.M. Robinson); Jody Holbrough (Lord Elgin) from Mike Leonard (Notre Dame) and John Stadolla (St. Thomas Aquinas); Jody Holbrough from Dave Marshall (Appleby); Ryan Cater (Appleby) from Paul Blue (Queen Elizabeth Park); and Craig Northcott (M.M. Robinson from Stadolla. In goal was Brian Gemin (Queen Elizabeth Park).
