CALEDONIA - To put it simply, the Caledonia Coravirs dominated in what was a historic regular season. Showcasing their talent, the first place Corvairs made an eye -popping statement by posting a 45- 4-0-1 regular season record for 91 points which equals their franchise high that they set in the 2013/14 and 2017/18 campaigns.

Among those talented rookies playing a role in the team’s success was rugged forward Kessler Skye who impressed with seven goals and 14 points in 47 games along with 50 penalty minutes.

“Personally, I think I had a pretty awesome coaching staff and teammates that helped me learn and improve my game,” Skye said. “I have to say my biggest improvements would have to be my awareness with the puck at a faster pace game.”

onship run, Caledonia had no trouble in the opening round as they swept in what was a best four out of seven the Buffalo Regals by scores of 7-1, 4-0, 2-1 before finishing things off on Monday, March 2nd with a series clinching 8-2 road win.

“Against a team like Buffalo we had strengths both offensively and defensively,’’ Skye said. “I do have to give credit to the goaltending for keeping them in the game.” Continuing to steamroll the competition, Caledonia found themselves in full control of their second round series beginning what was also a best of seven format by taking the first two games by 2-0 and 3-2 decisions against the Hamilton Kilty B’s.

Unfortunately for the Corvairs and their fans, that championship quest came to an end when playoffs were officially shut down with the world wide serious outbreak of coronavirus. “It was very disappointing knowing that we had a very good chance at winning the championship, especially since it was my first year at this level,” Skye said.

BRANTFORD--- Among the sports activities shut down due to the coronavirus was what would have been the 17th Annual Six Nations Police Memorial Charity hockey tournament.

This tournament, which honors the legacy of Six Nations officers Terry Martin, Adam Burning and Terry Smith was scheduled to have taken place on Friday, March 20 at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre. The format consisted of a Masters Division with players 40 and over on teams battling for gold along with a Pee Wee division of up and coming players showcasing their talents. “The tournament was cancelled the Friday before the tournament,” tournament participant and organizer along with Six Nations Constable Derrick Anderson said. “It was cancelled on March 13th. Some guys were talking about having it in early summer, but it will probably be cancelled until next year.” Six Nations Police Charity Hockey Tournament cancelled Steelhawks’ Cameron Sault believes team had great shot at Allan Cup

HAMILTON - Hamilton Steelhawks forward Cameron Sault firmly believes that they had a shot at winning the prestigious Allan Cup.

Shortly after the season was cancelled due to the serious outbreak of coronavirus, Sault, whose team was only two wins away from the Ontario Finals championship stated, “I’m disappointed for sure. I mean, this was my eighth year in this league chasing a national championship and this year’s Hamilton team was one of the best teams I’ve been on. We definitely had a shot at winning the Allan Cup on home soil.”

What made the season cancellation extra disappointing to Sault was that in the Ontario Finals they were beating his former team the Brantford Blast 2-0 in what was a best of seven.

“I’ve only played in one Allan Cup tournament in my career and it was in 2014 with the Blast,” Sault said. “So, to be playing for Hamilton against Brantford was a bittersweet feeling for sure. I won two Ontario championships while with Brantford and the memories are some of my best. I was hoping to win one (Allan Cup) with Hamilton this year but that’s not going to happen now.”

Playing in his second year with Hamilton, Sault who was coming off a regular season of three goals and seven points, was full of praise for his teammates when reflecting on his team finishing the season first overall and winning the first two games against Brantford in the Ontario finals.

“I think we finished 15- 4-1 for first place,” Sault said. “But we threw seven or eight straight wins together at the end of the season that was fun. Hockey’s always better when you’re winning.” Showing to be the ultimate teammate Sault went on to add, “We were playing some of the best hockey of the season in the first two games of the finals. Munro (goalie) was playing unreal and all the guys were buying in and playing the right way. Finishing checks, playing tough defensive, and scoring on our chances. It was some great hockey.” No doubt it was a golden opportunity cut short for Sault to help the Steelhawks triumphally lift the Allan Cup.
