Doug Robinson Tournament - November 18th - 20th 2016
Mooretown Novice Rep take home 2nd place ....
The Mooretown Novice Rep team were on the road this weekend as they travelled to Lincoln, ON to play in the "32nd Annual Doug Robinson Tournament". In an almost identical performance as our last tournament the boys took home silver instead of the gold. Losing in the finals 4-3 to a team we had beat the day before. The boys played hard and played smart in their first 3 games of tournament beating Lincoln in two shutouts & St.Marys in game 2 with a score of 5-1. In the finals on Sunday we met up with St.Marys again and the boys struggled the first 2 periods. They came back strong in the 3rd scoring 3 goals, but could not get the 4th to tie it up. A hard loss again for these boys, only their second of the season. They left the tournament with silver medals around their necks and their coaches told them to hold their heads up high. We are proud of you boys!!!

Four of the boys competed on Saturday in a skills competition representing Mooretown. Blake Barnes won 1st place for skating, John McLaughlin won 1st place for shooting, Lucas Ross won 2nd for breakaways & Paxton Burnie won 1st for goalie. On a side note Mooretown fans won 1st for cheering ;) Great job boys!!!
