Hawks avenge defeat to win Donovan tourney The Oakville Tyke 1 lacrosse Hawks made the most of their second chance. After the host Hawks were edged 9 -8 by Oran geville in their opening game of the third annual Bud Donovan Memorial Tournament, Oakville came back to down its Zone 10 rival 10-4 in the championship game. Tournament MVP Kingston Harris led the way with a hat trick, while Anders Langan had a pair of goals and Charlie Packard, Alexei Sawaya and Adam Broglio each had one as the Hawks built an 8 -4 lead. Broglio, with his second goal of the game, and Mark Luciani added an empty-netter to seal the vic tory so the Hawks could claim the gold medal.

He also posted a shutout in a 19-0 win over Six Nations as the Hawks bounced back to square their record at 1-1. Oakville then secured its place in the final with an 11-3 victory over Peterborough. Overall, the Hawks outscored their opponents 4 6 -1 6 with each of the 15 runners contributing a goal during the tournament. It is the Hawks' third year together after starting their minor lacrosse careers with a perfect 2 4 -0 sea son in paperweight. The following year they earned the provincial D silver medal and this year, with the tournament win, the Hawks are off to a good start under coach Patrick Merrill of the Toronto Rock. Kellenberger opts to go U.S. college route, com m itting to Princeton University for fall of 2 0 1 8 continued from p. 50 He posted 76 points in 62 games in 2 0 1 6 -17. Kellenberger, 18, jumped past his teammate in the final cen tral scouting rankings released in April, hitting the charts at a leaguesecond-best 74th among North American skaters. A six-foot-on e, 175-p o u n d sm ooth-skating blueliner, Kellenberger's hype only really be gan this past cam paign, as the form er Toronto Young N ation als m idget effectively replaced Kudla as the club's key offensive defencem an. "At the beginning of the season I needed to do a lot of w ork on the defensive zone," Kellenberger said, "especially with (assistant coach) Garrett Rutledge, who I think did an excellent job with me and all our defenders. At the beginning of the year I really had no expec tations for the draft, it was not on my mind at all, but it is definitely an honour just to be mentioned for it." Kellenberger appreciated the help of his defence partner Jeff Clarke. "His physical, defence-first style was a perfect fit for me, and I knew he always had my back, and he let me be the best I could (be) out there on the ice." Kellenberger, a Toronto na tive, was picked by the OHL Sar nia Sting in the seventh round in 2 0 1 5 , but has elected to com m it to Princeton University, expecting to attend in 2018. W hile some might find the demands of combining an Ivy League education with athletics daunting, Kellenberger relishes the challenge. "I have been balancing... school and hockey seriously for m any years now and th rivin g," he said. "(Princeton) alumni have told me if you can make it there you'll be able to make it in the real world, too." While the first round of the 2 0 1 7 NHL draft is set for tomor row (Friday) in Chicago, both Kellenberger and Misley are expected to be picked sometime in the later rounds on Saturday. "I think what it says is that our league has some really great play ers in it," said Tarantino, also a Blades alumnus. "W e're excited that two of our guys might get picked. That we might be the only team in Canada in that situation is certainly a nice touch for the organization, be cause... putting young men in the best position to be successful in life and in hockey is our No. 1 priority and we are thrilled and proud for both Matt and Bryce."
