EG Eagles U10 A - Dunsmuir Champions
The U10 A Eagles came into the Dunsmuir Memorial Tournament hot having won 5 regular season games in a row, and sitting 5th place in their 14 team division. As the tournament got underway, their hot streak continued as they took down the Leaside Flames 10-0. Their second game, they ran into a very talented, fast Cornwall team in Seaway Valley Rapids. With strong team defence and timely goaltending, the boys were victorious 4-2. The next match and final of the round robin was against a gritty Halton Hills Thunder. The Eagles battled through with a 5-2 win setting the stage for a championship rematch against the speedy Seaway Valley Rapids club. Seaway Valley came out flying and held the pressure early on. Once again, strong team defence allowed the Eagles to ride the wave and capitalize on their opportunities. The Eagles had a 4-1 edge heading into the final minute of the 3rd period but the pesky Seaway team didn't quit and managed to find the back of the net twice. The final seconds ran out and the U10 A Eagles prevailed to win their championship.
Congratulations to your U10 A Eagles on being the 2023 Dunsmuir Memorial tournament champions.
