THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, APRILS, 2000 PAGE 13 Sports CANADIAN STATESMAN APRIL 5, 2000 Orono Midgets lock up title BY BRAD KELLY Spoi ls Editor j II look ;i long time, but Orono finally got revenge on Thedford. Six seasons itgo,'Orono and Thedford met in the Ontario Ontario Atom championships, with Thed- Ibrd emerging as the winner.
