WRAPPING IT UP

Several divisions still have a few games left in the regular season. Kraft Cup Championships could be decided by a single game in some cases.

Minor Bantam A East
Both the Leaside Flames and Don Mills Mustangs sit tied with identical records after 35 games played. The Flames will play their final regular season game on Thursday, February 16 against 5th place York Mills, while the Mustangs will face the 9th place Markham Majors on Wednesday, February 15.

Minor Atom AA West
The Toros sit a single point ahead of the Toronto Wolverines after 34 games played. Both teams will play their final two games this week, determining a Kraft Cup Champion.

Minor Bantam AAA
With a single point separating the first place Don Mills Flyers from the second place Toronto Young Nationals, the final game of the season may be the difference between a Kraft Cup and going home empty handed. Both teams play their final games of the regular season this week.
