Four more NOHA crowns claimed locally...and AAA Wolves
shine on the road
While the NOHA Playdowns kicked off one
week ago, this past weekend provided the only opportunity for local
hockey fans to take in some of the action as four Northern Ontario
titles were up for grabs Sunday afternoon. The Valley East Rebels
enjoyed another solid weekend, nabbing top honours in both the Minor
Atom "A" and Atom "A" divisions while out of town teams left with the
hardware in the Bantam ranks.
Not much argument about who was the class
of the Minor Bantam "AA" grouping - West Ferris Toyota reels off four
straight wins without surrendering a goal to secure the NOHA crown and
Soo Sports Excellence also displays a commitment to team defense,
blanking the Sudbury WOlverines 2-0 in the Minor Bantam "AA" Gold
Medal encounter.
With their wins, the Valley East Major
Atoms and Sault Ste Marie Major Bantams will prepare for OHF (Ontario
Hockey Federation) championships in April, leaving for St Thomas and
Mississauga respectively.

four divisions contested locally as well as a pair of "AAA" updates

Major Peewee "AAA" Playdowns
The Sudbury Pinnacle Sports AAA Major Peewee Wolves served
notice that they intend to compete with the best in the province,
sweeping the NOHA crown from Sault Ste Marie with three straight
victories in the Sault. The Wolves set the tone early, outshooting the
homeside 50-8 in the opener and overcoming an outstanding performance
from the Soo netminder in posting a 1-0 win. Josh Moore was
named Game MVP for Sudbury.
Moore again was front and centre in game
two, scoring a pair of goals as Sudbury dumped the Sault 5-2 as
Malcolm Bilton garnered game MVP honours. A carbon-copy
performance from the local boys who received a two-goal effort from
Steven Green and four assists courtesy of Tyler Bertuzzi in
posting a second straight 5-2 win and earning a trip to the
all-Ontario championships in Thunder Bay in April.
Moore was named Wolves game MVP in the
series finale as Sudbury earns a second consecutive trip to the
all-Ontario tournament at the Major Peewee AAA level. The 2007-08

Kristian Leger, Brenden Pheasant, Sheehan Kirkwood, Denis Lemieux,

Minor Bantam "AAA" Playdowns
A tougher time for the Sudbury Northwood Health Care Pharmacy Minor
Bantam AAA Wolves who battled through five hard fought games in
Sault Ste Marie before claiming the NOHA crown with a 7-3 advantage in
the six-point series. Sudbury opened the set Friday afternoon, playing
to a 3-3 draw with the Sault before doubling the homeside 4-2 in the
evening encounter.
The Sault Ste Marie Minor Bantam AAA
Greyhounds evened the series at three points apiece with a 4-2 win
of their own on Saturday afternoon before coach Michel Brunette's
troops recovered to claim game # 4 by a final score of 5-1. With the
Northern title within their grasp, the Sudbury side left little to
chance Sunday at the John Rhodes Arena, bettering the Hounds 3-1.
