Valley East Rebels Go For Gold In London
By
Denis Beskorowany
The Valley East Rebels, Minor Atom Division team travelled
to London February 2nd to 4th to play in the West London Optimists NOHA
tournament. And play they did! The 10-year olds displayed their skill and
heart throughout the tournament, winning all five of their matchups. The
first game saw the Rebels win against the West London Winter Hawks 4-1.
The Rebels then defeated bandily the Scarboro team by a score of 7-0. The
Rebels met the Applewood Cree on Saturday morning, winning 6-0. A shootout
competition was also hosted by tournament organizers and Tyler Beskorowany
earned the spot of top goalie in the Minor Atom Division. In the semi
finals, the Rebels took the game with a score of 3-1 against
the Huskies. The Scarboro team met the Rebels again in the finals. The
Rebels managed to pull the game off with a score of 2-0. The Rebels played
hard and steady throughout the weekend and were rewarded with the
championship trophy. Congratulations to all the players, Matthieu Arbour
Ryan Beach, Tyler Beskorowany, Evan Daciuk, Timmy Dupuis, Storm Edwards,
