Santin Masonry Midget Red team comes from behind to win championship at Brampton Cougars Friendship Festival.
Despite playing the entire tournament with just 10 skaters, Kingston Santin Masonry Midget emerged victorious from all 3 round robin games and without surrendering a goal. The first place finish earned them a spot directly in the Championship game. Facing the Almaguin Gazelles in the final, the team was hard-pressed and fell behind 1-0 to trail for the first time in the tournament. A buzzer-beater goal by Ali Santin tied the game at the end of the first period. The game remained tied 1-1 until Riley Wales scored the winner with just 1:54 remaining in the game. The girls demonstrated discipline, sportsmanship and class throughout the tournament despite some adverse circumstances. Congratulations on a job well-done!
