It was close, and only a few seconds separated our Minor Peewee A boys from a possible date with destiny, but in the end they fell 4-3 in their Semi-Final matchup vs. the Essex Raiders.
The Raiders came into the Semi-Finals of the Peter Mancuso Challenge as one of the top ranked teams in Ontario. But our Toros took them by surprise with their tenacity, effort level, and sheer desire to win, grabbing the lead twice and clawing their way back to tie the game late in regulation, to send it to overtime.
It was one of those games where both teams deserved to win, and all our kids can feel good about their effort! Parents and coaches were unanimous in their expression of pride in our group. The passing, hard work and inspired play that all our Toros put on display, during all four games this past weekend, were a joy to watch and kept us all cheering.
Thank you Toros for an amazing tournament and even better days to come!
