Pee Wee AA Railcats - City Champs
Congratulations to the Pee Wee AA Railcats for winning the City Championship.
The Peewee Railcats had an amazing season. Having lost just three regular season games, they finished first in league standings. The team earned a place at the 53rd Annual Quebec International Pee Wee Hockey Tournament in Quebec City after winning the cities as Minor Peewee's last season. In Quebec for ten days in February, the group captured top spot in their division. In the final game the team was defeated by a strong Hershey team but still took away several achievements to be proud of, and an amazing trip with experiences to last a lifetime. Riding momentum from the tournament in Quebec, the Railcats returned for one last regular season game before starting into the playoffs. After sweeping the first two rounds, the Railcats went on to claim the City Championship for the second year in a row.

Seals 13A1 Win City Championship
After holding first place for the majority of the regular season and ending with the lowest goals against average in the league, St. Boniface was the team to beat in the Minor Bantam A1 City Playoffs. St. Boniface opened the playoffs with two victories but then was upset by a very determined River East Black team in the A side final. Relegated to the B side final, St. Boniface went up against a gritty River East White squad. In a back and forth game, St. Boniface found themselves down 2-1 with less than a minute to play. Faced with possible elimination from the playoffs, the Seals pulled their goalie for an extra attacker. Maintaining their cool, they stormed the River East end of the ice and, with only 18 seconds remaining on the clock, they potted the equalizer in a very exciting finish! Overtime solved nothing, so the game ended in a tie, requiring the match to be replayed in its entirety the next day. In the second edition of the B side final, St. Boniface played a more disciplined game and had great support from our fans. Even so, both teams found it difficult to find the net and the game remained scoreless until late in the third period. For the second game in a row, the Seals were able to pull off last minute heroics, scoring the game winner with only 14 seconds left in regulation time. The next night, playing their third playoff game in as many days, St. Boniface opened up the best of five City Finals against River East Black. In a heated game where River East had three players ejected, it was the more disciplined St. Boniface team who only needed a single goal to claim the victory in game one. After getting a night off, a well-rested St. Boniface team came out strong and finished off River East with two convincing 4-1 victories to take the City Championship in three straight games. Congratulations to the boys for a well-deserved championship title!
