W ins over top T.O. teams are a confidence booster The Oakville Rangers peewee AAA squad beat the number-one and number-two ranked teams in the Greater Toronto Hockey League to advance to the quarter finals of the Big Nickel Tournament in Sudbury over the Nov. 3/4 weekend. The Rangers, who have struggled in tournament play so far this season, defeated the Vaughan Kings 2-1 and shocked the first place Toronto Marlboros 4-2 to win their division. Oakville met the Marlboros (who had squeaked in on a wild-card) again in the quarterfinal and this time fell 5-0 to the powerful Toronto squad. In spite of the loss, it was the furthest the Rangers have advanced in tournament play this season. The team's strong play against powerful opposition is a sign of good things to come. The Rangers began on a less auspicious note, losing their opening game 6-1 to the Thunder Bay Kings. Michael Galbraith (from Ryan Badham) scored the lone Oakville goal and James Albrecht was named Game Star for Oakville. Instead of lying down, Oakville stepped up their game and next beat the high flying Vaughan Kings 2-1. Tyler Sgro (unassisted) and David Dobrinsky (from Badham) provided the offense. Ranger goaltender Brad Wagner was named Game Star. Oakville then took on the Marlies who had twice humil iated them in preseason play. The game was tied 2-2 after two periods on goals from Galbraith (from Badham and Zack Shepley) and Stephen Wheeler (from Galbraith). The Marlboros' decision to switch goaltenders for the third peri od proved to be disastrous as Badham (from Galbraith and Dobrinsky) and Blake Hylands (from Adam Feniak) scored within minutes of each other to put the game away. Badham was Game Star for the Rangers. The quarterfinal was a rematch with the blue and white. The Marlies took an early 3-0 lead that they never gave up, eventually winning 5-0. Goaltender Brad Wagner was Game Star for a second time. Galbraith suffered a broken collar bone late in the game that will keep him out of the lineup for some time. If Oakville's play continues to improve at the present rate they will be a force to be reckoned with at the Bell Challenge Cup to be held at the Hershey Centre over Christmas.
