Canada Winter Games and Minor Midget AAA
Team Ontario completed a perfect showing at the 2015 Canada Winter Games with a 3-1 win over Team Alberta in the gold medal game, powered by goals from GTHL forwards Ryan McLeod (Toronto Marlboros) and Zachary Gallant (Mississauga Rebels).

McLeod, who led the team with six goals, and Marlboros teammate Ben Jones will have to put memories of the win on hold for now though, as they prepare for fellow golden boy Brett Neumann and his Don Mills Flyers in Game 4 of the Minor Midget AAA GTHL Championship series on Friday.

The McLeod-Jones led Marlboros picked up a 2-1 win in Game 3 before the break to take a 4-2 lead in the first-to-eight-points series. Games 1 and 2 ended in 2-2 and 5-5 ties, respectively.

The Flyers, who lost only one contest during the regular season, rallied from a 6-0 series deficit against the Toronto Jr. Canadiens in the Second Round to punch their ticket to the GTHL Championship series.

A total of 10 GTHL players and one coach were part of Team Ontario’s gold medal squad, which posted a 7-0-0 record in Prince George, B.C.

Minor Peewee A
Down 2-0 in their first-to-six points series with the No. 1 ranked Ted Reeve Thunder, the North York Knights (No. 5) earned points in three of four games last week to pull into a 5-5 tie through five games. The Knights began the week with 3-1 and 1-0 wins before the Thunder evened the series with a 2-1 triumph on Friday.

With a berth in the East Final on the line Monday, the teams played to a 1-1 tie at Scotiabank Pond. Each club will aim to advance with a Game 6 win on Friday (time and location TBD).

A winner in the North Toronto-Toronto Aeros series is nearly impossible to predict after the teams tied four of their first six matchups, including three draws in the past five days. It could be argued that the No. 2 Aeros have the upper hand heading into Friday’s Game 7, as Toronto holds a +4 goal differential.

If the contest goes past regulation on Friday, the teams will play one 10-minute sudden victory overtime period. If no winner is decided in the extra frame, then bring on Game 8!

The Royals await either the No. 2 Avalanche or No. 3 Humberview Huskies in the division final. Ahead 4-2 in the first-to-six points series, the Avalanche will advance if they win Game 4 on Friday at Pavilion (time TBD).

The clubs battled to a 1-1 tie last Monday before the Knights pulled ahead with a 5-3 win in Game 2 on Wednesday. Down but not out, the Aces bounced back with a 3-2 win and 3-3 tie to even the series at 4-4. Either team can advance to the East Final with a win tonight at Victoria Village (9:00 p.m.).

The other East matchup pits the No. 2 Toronto Aeros against the underdog Toronto Colts (No. 6). The clubs met only once last week, with the Aeros earning a 4-1 victory on Wednesday to pull ahead 5-3 in the first-to-six-points series. Game 5 is slated for Wednesday at Ted Reeve (9:30 p.m.).
