This past weekend Nick's Hockey Team - Essex Ravens Bantam AE - headed to Milton for their final tournament of the season. The 1st game against the Milton Winterhawks, the boys dominated taking a 4-2 win. The 2nd game they played was against the Waterloo Timber winning 3-1. Game 3 was against the Espanola Elks - they fought hard to win 1-0. This win put them in 1st place and allowed them to move onto the championship game (against Waterloo). This game was very exciting (and nerve-wracking). The score went back & forth ending in a 2-2 tie. The boys had to play 1 minute overtime periods beginning with 5 player on 5 continuing down to 1 player on 1 until someone scored a goal. We were down to the 1 on 1 with Matt Conley facing off. After great puck control in Waterloo's end, the opponent had no choice but to take Matt down resulting in a penalty shot. Matt made no mistake and deeked out the goalie and buried the puck. A very sweet victory ending a great season. Final score Essex 3, Waterloo 2.
