U18 Team 3 ends season with strong show at Owen Sound Barb Downey Memorial Tournament

The U18 team local league team 3 finished the regular season in early March so when the opportunity to play one last tournament before hanging up the skates for the season came available the team decided to pack their gear and head to Owen Sound to represent the wonderful town of Paris

The U18 team excitedly played game 1 versus tournament hosts Owen Sound, where they posted a 3-1. After a well-deserved break and an awesome team meal, they headed back to the arena Friday night to tie 4-4 against the team from Mount Forest. Rounding out round robin play, on Saturday the team was pumped and ready to compete. Teamwork and a never give up attitude resulted in a 4-3 win over North Middlesex. With a two-win, one tie record, Paris Twisted Treats earned a position in the semifinals.

Not so lucky for Paris, they would face the luck of the Irish when they played a very strong Lucan Irish team on March 17th.

Paris kept up with the Irish during the first period and a half of play, but Lucan managed to break ahead to take the 9-3 win and eventually go on to win the entire U18 division.

The end of the tournament was bittersweet as it marked the end of minor hockey for five graduating players Alex Clement, Caiden Geishe, Owen Howells, Owen Taylor, and Phinn Sinden.

The team’s success was a result of a total team effort, and special acknowledgement for Emmett Rosebrugh, a U15 player, who stepped up to rock between the pipes.

A huge thank you to all the bench staff, volunteers and players who made this a great year.
