The DG Smith Insurance Major Peewee Stars went undefeated in round robin play at the Richmond Hill Early Bird tournament held in early September. Game one saw Uxbridge defeat the Markham Islanders 4-1 with goals by Connor Evans, Adam English, Matthew Winnitoy and Nick Sangalli. The defensive team of Owen Barry, Braeden Whiteheand, Jason Simmonds, Cameron Warriner, Jeffery Wilson and Luke Melong worked hard to protect the defensive zone and secure the win. Game two was a squeaker with Uxbridge narrowly beating the Caledon Hawks 2-1 with goals by Connor Evans and Derek Dolan. Game three ended in a tie against the Markham Waxers; and this proved enough to secure Uxbridge a spot in the semi finals versus the Scarborough Bruins. Derek Dolan netted the only goal. All members of the offensive line-up contributed to the scoring and are demonstrating great progress in puck movement and team work.
The semi final game proved to be a nail biter. With only 2 minutes remaining and Uxbridge down 3-1; things were not looking positive. With the face off in Scarborough’s end head coach Brad Moore took the opportunity to call a time out and regroup. Uxbridge pulled out all the stops… and the goalie… Derek Dolan won the draw to Todd Winder who one timed the puck with only 1:55 left on the clock. With the net still empty and Uxbridge putting solid forward pressure, Adam English scored a brilliant goal with only 22 seconds remaining to tie the game at three and force overtime. The overtime proved exciting and hard fought; however, with one man in the box the Stars were unable to hold of the Bruins powerplay and lost a heartbreaker. The goaltending duo of Mackenzie Phelps and Ryan Housser provided outstanding performances and kept the team in every game. It was a great start to the season; congratulations Stars!
