The Southpoint Capitals U13 Blue Local League team went undefeated in six games to take the championship at the Ray Hunt Memorial Classic in Orangeville over the December 12-14 weekend.
The Caps started the tournament on Friday with some tough opposition, beating Saugeen Shores and West Carleton both by identical 2-0 scores. The Capitals got outstanding goaltending from Brock Hamilton throughout the tournament, but his play on Friday set the tone for the entire weekend.
On Saturday, the Capitals beat two Orangeville teams by 9-0 and 6-0 scores, sending them to the semi-final against a third Orangeville team, whom they beat 7-2.
The finals pitted Southpoint against West Carleton again, and this time they skated away with a 4-0 victory and the tournament title.
Ethan Hillier and Thomas Fischer showed true leadership the entire weekend, with Hiller leading the tournament in scoring with 11 points in six games. His team voted him MVP for the weekend.
Koehyn Fernandes led the team in goals with six, and Milo Cervini also excelled offensively.
David Boutros and Emmitt Buffalo-Amand each scored their first goals of the season over the weekend.
Coach Jeremy Maagdeleyn said the players demonstrated true Southpoint style hockey with offense spread throughout the lineup and strong defensive efforts each game.
