Peewee A’s win silver at OMHA finals After a week and a half off in the OMHA Finals the series resumed this past weekend for the Southpoint Capitals Peewee A’s, sponsored by Gabriele’s Floor and Home. The Capitals took to the ice for the remaining 3 games in the series over the weekend. Game one was played on Friday night in Wheatley. Cobourg won a very close 2-0 battle and took the series lead 4 points to 2. Game two was Saturday afternoon on the Heinz rink in Leamington. With a huge crowd of support from hometown fans, all wearing white and waving their white towels, the boys played a great game. This game ended in a 2-2 tie after a 10-minute overtime period. Southpoint goals were scored by Noah Santos and Matthew Taylor, and assists went to Eric Prudence (2) and Kody Epp. This tie put the Capitals down in the 6 point series 5 points to 3. The Capitals now found themselves in a familiar situation with their backs against the wall going into game 3 back in Wheatley on Sunday afternoon. A win would force a 6th game back in Cobourg Tuesday night and a tie or a loss would give Cobourg an OMHA 3-peat. Kody Epp from Eric Prudence and Quinn Bowman put the nearly 1000 fans on their feet and gave the Caps a 1-0 lead in the second period. With 30 seconds remaining in the game, Cobourg, with their goalie pulled, was able to tie the game. A seesaw overtime period settled nothing and the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Cobourg won the series 6 points to 4. The players showed their appreciation to the fans by saluting the crowd following the game. “As disappointing as losing out in the OMHA Finals is for these young men, they have nothing to be ashamed of,” said coach Terry Symons. “They have developed great friendships and memories that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.” Season highlights and memories include winning the Woolwich Tournament back in Novemeber in a shootout, participating in the Annual Hockey Day in Symonsville Road Hockey Classic, collecting and delivering cans and food baskets for the Goodfellows, and their numerous comeback victories in the playdowns this season. “On behalf of the players, coaching staff, and parents of these players, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all those who come out to support the team throughout their playoff run, especially this past weekend,” Coach Symons added. “The coaching staff is extremely proud of these young men and wish them well in the future.”
