U11 team wins Silver Stick
ALVINSTON — This hockey season saw a merger of longtime rivals, Southpoint Capitals and Essex Ravens travel hockey teams. In tournament play at all levels, these teams have enjoyed great success. The latest group of U11 players competed in the Alvinston Silver Stick regional qualifier over the Christmas break and took top honours. Game one saw end-to-end action against Mt. Brydges. After two scoreless periods, the opposition broke the ice but the locals roared right back to tie the score, leaving the game in a deadlock.
Landen Seguin earned MVP honours for the Caps. Game two saw a smothering defensive effort en route to a decisive 3-0 shutout over Oakville. Dario Graziano earned the shutout, while Lincoln Kniaziew earned game MVP. Game three versus St. Thomas found the boys down by a goal midway through the third but they roared back with four unanswered tallies in a five-minute span. With a 4-2 victory, the Caps were now qualified for the finals in a rematch with Mt. Brydges.
