Fort Erie Tournament Finalists
The Mooretown Jr. Flags Bantam Rep team fell just short of their second tournament championship with a 1-0 loss in the Finals.
In Round Robin play the Jr. Flags won their division and secured 1st seed overall by sweeping their games (5-0 over Hespeler, 8-1 over Hamilton, 5-0 over Amherstburg). As 1st seed Mooretown earned a bye into the Semi Final Round.
In the Semis the Jr. Flags again came out on top with a 5-3 victory over Caledon. Mooretown played some great hockey in the offensive zone while playing solid in their own end as well. In 4 games to this point the Jr. Flags only incurred 7 minor penalties as their puck possession was at times dominating.

In the Championship game vs undefeated Burlington the Jr. Flags were unable to get on track as the game was quickly thrown off the rails by penalty trouble.
While they did manage to create some excellent opportunities any shots that did get past the solid Burlington netminder only managed to find the iron. Playing shorthanded for 20 minutes out of a 40 minute contest had a huge impact on the flow of the game and the offence just couldn't click in getting shutout for the first time this season in a 1-0 loss.
In all it was an exciting and impressive weekend of hockey.
