First place with 20-4-7 record The Oakville R angers m inor peewee AAA hockey team put the cap on their most successful regular season ever as they clinched first place over all in the south-central division of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA). The boys claimed the spotlight in early September and never relinquished their hold, taking on all contenders. The Rangers finished out the season with a record of 20 wins, 4 losses and 7 ties. The team, made up of 11 veterans from last season and six newcomers, put in gritty performances all year defending their first place position. Thanks to a solid defensive line up and strong goaltending, the Rangers silenced their opposition with a goals against average of l.94. The forwards always managed to come up with that much needed extra goal to ensure the win. Twice they stole a point by tying up a contest with seconds left. The first place finish has earned the Rangers a bye from thfc first round of the playoffs. The boys are eager to get their first series underway as they vie for the opportunity to return to the OMHA championship tournament, scheduled to take place in Whitby at the end o f March. Victory in playoff opener The Nickel's Novice "A A A " R angers opened the playoffs Saturday February 2, in fine form with a 3-2 road victory against the host Welland Tigers. Playing with obvious desire and determination. Oakville forged leads of 2-0 and 3 -1. Oakville goals (in order)were scored by Dylan Cooper, Braeden Corbeth and Brett Lee. Assists went to Tyler Badham, Nicholas Kashty, Brett Lee, Adrian Parisotto, Corbeth and Kyle Dube. Ranger goalie Christopher Miniaci, helped the cause with key saves in the third period as Welland were pressing for the equalizer.

Feb. 06 Glen Thiessen ·Oakville B eaver Iroquois Ridge takes on highly touted St. Augustine at Sheridan Cup. Ridge at Sheridan Cup The Iroquois Ridge senior boys basketball team certainly c a n 't be accused o f trying to pad their win totals. Quite the opposite. A lthough they resum ed regular league play yesterday with a perfect 50 record in the Volpe division o f the Halton high school league, the team actually owns an overall losing record. With two losses at the prestigious Sheridan Cup basketball tournament on the weekend, their over all record dipped to 12-13. But this senior team, which two years ago did not win a game, knows that to become one o f the best -- they have to play the best. They knew their opener against St. Augustine, a former Toronto Star top10 school (now meriting honourable mention) would be tough, and they were right as they lost 77-49. Ben Homer led the Ridge with 13 points. On Saturday, the regrouped Ridge team was much, much closer losing a 74-73 consolation semifinal heartbreaker to St. Martin. Harjeev Brar led the scoring with 24 points. St. Augustine, meanwhile, made it all the way to the tourney final where they were edged 51-47 by Nelson of Burlington who are also highly touted, and are second in the latest Star rank ings.
