Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Georgina, ON: - The Georgina Blaze Major Peewee AE Team participated in the CAN/AM Challenge Cup hockey tournament. There the boys got to experience playing on the Olympic 1932 & 1980 rinks, opening ceremonies and 4 on 4 pond hockey style exhibition games on the outdoor Olympic Oval Rink. Lead by head coach Jeff Hodgkinson the Blaze were undefeated in their quest for gold. Beating the Westfield Jr. Bombers [8-0] from Westfield, MA the Brewins [7-0] from Taunton, MA the CT Riverhawks [9-2] from Shelton, CT the Wonderland Wizards [3-0] from Bridgeport, CT and the Stamford Sharks [5-1] from Stamford, CT.
