Reebok Little Caesars PeeWee Minor Hockeytown
Invitational
Congratulations to the Team

wins over Honeybaked (4-3) and the Hamilton

morning with the Toronto Marlies meant that Team

exhilarating semi-final rematch with St.
Louis Jr. Blues on Sunday. Team

and a shootout to advance to the finals. And in

"I'm not sure if we all know how
hard a team has to work to win a weekend title,
but these boys battled until they couldn't
battle any more," commented Coach Sean Berens.
