26 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday August 2, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Kessler nets camp invite Local goalie Christina Kessler is one of 40 players to be invited to Hockey Canada's national women's under-22 team selection camp Aug. 10-17 at York University. Kessler, coming off an excellent season with Harvard University, will compete for a spot on the team that will represent Canada at the 2009 MLP Cup (formerly the Air Canada Cup) in Ravensburg, Germany in early January. Canada has won the tournament six years in a row, losing only one game in the process. The camp will also be used to select 22 players for a three-game series against the USA's women's under-22 select team in Pierrefonds, Que. later this month. Nearly half of the players selected for the camp are from the Ontario Women's Hockey Association. `C' CHAMPS: The Oakville paperweight Hawks won the `C' title at the Greg Campbell Memorial tournament. Paperweight Hawks claim `C' title The Oakville paperweight Hawks were no lightweights at the Greg Campbell Memorial tournament in Welland last weekend. Despite only being teamed together for a month, the squad of six-year-olds went 2-1-1 at the competition to win the `C' championship in the 16-team event. Oakville opened the tournament with a 4-4 tie against the Halton Hills Bulldogs, then dropped an 86 decision to the Clarington Green Gales. The Hawks concluded the preliminary round with a 10-8 victory over the Barrie Tornados, finishing sixth in the opening-round standings. In the `C' final, against the fifth-seeded Orillia Kings, the Hawks played to a 5-5 tie in regulation time. After one round of penalty shots was not enough to determine a winner, the Hawks outscored Orillia 2-1 in a second round to prevail. Members of the team are Davis Tolnai , Cam Tolnai , Michael Neil-Mahovlich, Ethan Harkins, Cam Garvey, Sean Guerin, Zack Terry, Max Boulanger, Ethan Stainton, Kyle Truffin, Owen Sage, Luc Dawick, Dante Parisotto, Johnny Benham, Matthew Vilas, and Ryan Brooks. Chris Benham, Bryan Brooks, Jamie Vilas and Alex Harkins coach the team. This year marked the first time Oakville has fielded a team in the Greg Campbell tournament. The players had never faced live goaltending or body contact in their house league division during the summer season.
