Little NHL champs
Representing the Soo Pee Wee Hockey League, the Under 10 A level Hurricanes went undefeated on the weekend to bring home the championship banner from the Welland Little NHL Tournament.
The Hurricanes began with a 9-2 win over the Newmarket Renegades before upending the Brantford 99ers by a 4-3 score, then edging the Milton Winterhawks 3-2 and blanking the West Niagara Flying Aces 5-0. The Soo again upended Milton, winning by a 2-1 margin in the title tilt.
The Soo team is coached by Ryan Barsanti and features 16 players — eight boys and eight girls. Luca Miceli of the Hurricanes was named the tournament’s most valuable player.
