Back-to-back Champions! HUSKIES CAPTURE NOHA U15A TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS FOR SECOND YEAR RUNNING!
O
n the weekend of March 24-26th the Chapleau Huskies travelled to Timiskaming Shores to compete in the NOHA Tournament of Champions. After an early exit from the Nickel City Tournament the Huskies were very determined to play well and defend their title of the previous year. The Huskies faced Blind River to open the tournament with Tyson Kydd starting in net. Blind River came out flying and scored 4 unanswered goals in the first period. In a second period plagued by Husky penalties Tanner Moreau scored once for the Huskies assisted by Max Thibeault, but the Thundercats retained a three-goal lead going into the third with Noah Newman taking over in the net for the Huskies. The third period began, and things were starting to look bleak for the Huskies when Blind River added two more goals to their tally bringing the score to 6-1. With 8 minutes remaining in the third Jack Cyr scored, assisted once again by Max Thibeault and this seemed to ignite the Husky bench. Goals by Braeden Bernath assisted by Tanner Moreau, and Jack Cyr from Colten Caron helped bring the Huskies closer, but there was still much work left to be done, and there were only three minutes left in Long Term the game.
