Oliver Strasser (North Toronto) scored the opening goal for Team Blue.
Down 1-0 early, Brandon Power (Duffield Devils) and Team White started peppering the net with pucks.
Kurtis Rauch (Scarborough Young Bruins) and Team Blue held leads of 1-0, 3-1 and 5-3 ...
... but Team White came firing back, tying the game three times ...
... and got big saves from goaltender Jacob Fluxgold (Vaughan Rangers) ...
... before Matthew Bianco (Amesbury Attack) scored the game-winning goal with less than three minutes left in the third period.
Uhhhh guys, you forgot something ...
Matthew Wallace (Toronto Aces) and Team Blue were looking for a win in the Midget AA All-Star Game.
Noah Walman scored the opening goal to give Team White a 1-0 lead ...
... but Robert Chapman (Toronto Aces) and Team Blue wouldn't go away quietly.
With less than a minute left in the third period, Jordan Vetro (Duffield Devils) picked up an assist on what looked like a sure game-winning goal for Team White ...
... but Team Blue tied the game 30 seconds later before winning in a shootout.

William Calverley (North York Rangers) and Team Blue took a 1-0 lead late in the opening frame ...
... and Allister O'Hagan (Toronto Young Nationals) scored in the second period to give Team Blue a 2-0 advantage.
Team Blue couldn't fend off the attack for too long, though ....
... as Brett Bannister (Mississauga Rebels) picked up two assists for Team White ...
... and Matteo DiGiulio (Toronto Jr. Canadiens) fired home the tiebreaking goal early in the third period to put Team White ahead.
The Team White defence took it from there ...
... with help from goaltender Colton Incze (Toronto Marlboros) ...
