Team OMHA White finishes fourth

The OMHA would like to congratulate both Team OMHA White and Team OMHA Black on a fantastic showing at the fifth annual OHL Gold Cup which concluded over the weekend. The tournament is held in Kitchener and the rosters are each comprised of 20 of the best Minor Midget players from this past season.

The OHL Gold Cup works as part of the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence (POE). Players selected from this event have a chance to play for Canada at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, as they continue through the POE, to the Hockey Canada under-17 selection camp held at the end of July.

The two teams competed in separate divisions and played in three round robin games. Team OMHA Black captured silver while Team OMHA White was edged out in the bronze medal game.

Team GTHL Red 2-Team OMHA Black 0: The opening matchup for Team OMHA Black ended in a shutout but was not a result of lack of effort. Ethan Langevin made 27 saves and the offence kept a consistent attack throughout the game.
