www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, April 3, 2014 | 32 Novice AA Rangers end dominant season with OMHA championship By Herb Garbutt Oakville Beaver staff The Oakville novice AA Rangers were 20 seconds away from an Ontario Minor Hockey Association championship, clinging to a 2-1 lead, when a WhitechurchStouffville Clippers player dug the puck out of the corner and sent a pass across the top of the crease to a wide-open teammate. "Oh no," thought Ranger coach Paul Rowan. But in the blink of an eye, Oakville goalie Kaden Thomson-Hill slid across the crease to block the shot headed for the open net with his pad. The puck was quickly cleared and shortly after, the ice was littered with blue, red and white gloves as the Rangers celebrated their second championship in as many years. For a team that had dominated in Tri-County play, outscoring its opponents 148-28 during a 260-2 season, the Rangers showed they were capable of winning close games as well.

In the final, the Rangers took the opener of the six-point series 2-0. After a 1-1 tie, Oakville doubled the Clippers 4-2 to take command of the series. However, the Rangers' celebration was delayed when their opponents took Game 4 in overtime, 3-2. In Game 5, the Clippers took the lead with a goal early in the second but Robby Gray evened things up for Oakville before the end of the period. In the third, with 5:30 remaining, Andrew Brown pulled the puck out of a scramble in front and fired it home for what proved to be the winning goal. "I'm proud of them," said Rowan, who coached the team when it won the Tri-County tyke 2 title last year. "They worked hard for it and it's something that can never be taken away from them." After a 3-0-2 start to the season with ties against Burlington and Guelph -- teams the Rangers would later face in the OMHA playdowns -- Oakville finished the season with 23 consecutive wins and then swept Burlington in three games in the first round. After Oakville took the opener of the semifinal series, Guelph edged the Rangers 3-2 to even the series, snapping Oakville's league and playoff win streak at 27. Rowan said the loss didn't affect the team, though. "We had been in a couple of tournaments and lost in the final," The Oakville novice AA Rangers won the OMHA championship, defeating Whitechurch-Stouffville in five games, capped by a 2-1 win Sunday.

"A lot of the core guys were back from last year and they never let go of that winning attitude." Oakville came back to win the next two games, 3-0 and 2-1, to advance to the final. "Guelph always gave us fits," Rowan said. "Guelph, at our age, doesn't have AAA, so most of those players will be playing AAA next year. They have a girl who's a great goaltender and three or four guys above the skill level for our league, but we were able to shut those kids down." Rowan said it was the same situation with Whitechurch-Stouffville. "I figure we beat two pretty good AAA teams," he said. The difference, he said, was depth. "All three of our (forward) lines could score and pass well and we just rolled them. A lot of teams stacked their lines against us but in my opinion, we just outworked them," Rowan said. "Our defence was fantastic. During the season we were outshooting teams 28-7. The goalies didn't get a lot of work but as we met tougher teams, our goalies stood the test. Cole Stevens was great over the last couple of months and Kaden played the best game I've seen him play in the final." Atom DS Hornets win Leaside tourney After opening the tournament with a 1-0 loss to the hosts, the Oakville atom DS Hornets posted three straight shutouts to reach the final of the Leaside March Break Hockey Tournament.
