Stittsville A3 Nachos Win the Bradford Blue & Gold Classic

On Friday they played two games which the won convincingly 7-2 against the North York Knights and 5-2 against the Brampton Bears.  On Saturday, their final round robin game was against the Newmarket Redman which the team, now on a roll, won 7-1.

Sunday saw the quarter finals, and the Nachos coming up against Stittsville A3 Vikings.  The game went back and forth displaying the talents of both Stittsville teams.  It was a great game to watch as both teams played their hearts out.  Fortunately for us, we manage to win 4-1 and it was on to the Semi-finals.

Here the Nachos were up against the Leitrim Hawks A1…The Hawks took a one goal lead in the first period and it wasn't until the third until the Nachos were able to tie it up.  The game was tied after regulation and off to overtime we went.  Playing 4 on 4, it took our players just two minutes in to score the OT winner!

Now on to the Finals!  It was the Cumberland Dukes A3 that stood between us and the trophy!  Another nail biter was in the cards…After regulation, it was 2-2.  Again OT was 4 on 4 for 3 minutes and this time, it ended with no one scoring.  On to 3 on 3 for three minutes.  One Minute in, we seized our opportunity and scored to send the players and parents into celebrations.  It was a great team effort!
