Pat Larock Hockey Tournament - A Review
The GWS Logistics Minor PeeWee team participated in the Pat Larock Hockey Tournament in Peterborough over the weekend.

The Pat Larock Tournament was a great starting point to the season as the team had a record of 3-3, and lost in the Bronze medal game Sunday evening against the Oshawa Minor Generals by a score of 3-1.

Their first game was Friday afternoon against the Guelph Gryphons.  The boys were very excited for the game, as they were wearing their new Preds track suits for the first time, with all their new equipment, and official first game as a team. The players put forth a great defensive effort and displayed nice passing as they game away with a 4-0 victory.
In the second game of the tournament, the opponent was the Clarington Toros.  This was a display of offensive ability, as the players had some excellent shots, and came away with a 7-2 victory.
The third game was Saturday at noon against the Cambridge Hawks.  This was a fast paced game, with very few whistles and excellent puck movement by both teams.  The final result was 5-1 for the Predators.
The fourth game Saturday night, was the first defeat the team had in the tournament as they lost 3-1 to Oshawa.  It was a hard, aggressive game, and both teams didn't want to give an inch, but more bounces went the way of Oshawa.
With a record of 3-1, the team qualified for the semi-finals Sunday morning against the Brantford 99s.  The boys started off at a blistering pace and a quick 3-0 lead.  However, once the game settled down, the opponents from Brantford scored some timely goals and won the game 7-4, with 2 empty net goals to complete the victory and advance to the Championship game, where they were crowned the eventual tournament Champions.
Great effort, team work and GRIT was shown by all the players.  Thanks to the parents, families and coaches for all their effort and support throughout the weekend.
GO PREDS GO!!
