M IN O R ATOM A The minor atom A championship game was a showdown between two league archrivals, with Oakville claiming the tournament title 4-1 over the Burlington Eagles. "The boys played really well," said Rangers coach Kevin Anstey. "They had three periods of good hockey and they really stuck to the plan and they did a great job." Oakville, he said, has quite the rivalry going with Burlington this year, with Oakville now nudging ahead with two wins and a loss. "We're pretty evenly matched -- they finished just below us in the standings." Oakville has one game left in the regular season but are already assured second place. "Burlington are a real tough team for us. We've had a tough time with them all year. They're an excellent hockey team." The team is definitely on a roll to close out the new year It marked the team's second straight tournament champi onship, on top of their last triumph in Belleville. And this one was a sweep right through the three prelimi nary round games, the semifinal and the championship. Plus, they've only lost once in their last 17 games. A big part in the surge, he said, is captain Taylor Stewart who was also the championship game MVP. "He has just been a force for us the whole year -- he's been great. He's doing a dynamite job."

Blades lose showdown with Texas Tornados, host Hamilton Red Wings Saturday night at Ice Sports Despite a respectable 2-1 record, the Oakville Blades did not make it out of pool play at this past week's Showcase tournament in Newmarket. The upside is that they should be rest ed for an important weekend in their provincial junior A west conference. This Saturday, 6:45 p.m. at Ice Sports, they host another second place battle against the Hamilton Red Wings. At the Newmarket Showcase tourna ment, things went according to script -- well, maybe not quite how the Blades would have written in it. They were in a pool with the defending champion Texas Tornados and they lost 4-1. The Blades then easily handled the weak rivals in their division, 5-2 over Buffalo Lightning (9-24-3-2) and 7-1 over Pickering (9-20-7 in the south division).
