Battling fatigue as much as its oppo- sition in Whitby Tuesday afternoon - having had to play one extra game due to an uneven playoff format - the Zone 8 champs jumped out to an early lead and hung on to edge Mimico 6-5. The narrow victory capped an unheaten tournament for the local tykes and gave them their second provincial tit.le in three years. Delivering bis fifth multi-goal per- formance of the three-day showcase against Mimico, Peyton Bizier sank the eventual game-winner with about two- and-a-half minutes remaining - scooping up a loose bail in front and one-timing it past the Mountaincers' netminder. Mimico would draw within a goal with 17 seconds remaining, but ran out of time to close the gap. That was due in large part to some key saves earlier on by Gniffin Ellis-Callow and ample defensive support from Zachary Plater and Matthew Moore. Bizier also scored through the initial stages of the final and ended the Jocy Szaho also tallied twice with the title on the fine, while singles were chipped in by Michael Scarfone and Justin Whetham. While the Mavericks punctuated their championship run in dramatic fashion, their drive to the finals was crather dominant - with four of their rfive other wins secured by at least seven goals. That included a 9-2 semnifinal rout of the Huntsville Hawks Tuesday morn- ing, during which Bizier led offensively with his second four-goal game and Ellis-Callow held opposing snipers at bay Callum MacGregor also stood out with two goals and an assist. The only real test Milton had en route to the champion.ship came against Shelburne, who held a two-goal lead heading into the third period of the round-robin finale. Distancing themselves from some penalty trouble that intermupted their offensive surge, the Mavericks fortified their efforts to prevail 9-6. Milton bombed Arthur 11-3 in the quarterfinals, whule others to go dlown liard to the would-be champs were Six Nations (10-3) and Caledon (10-1). Whethamn had a total of eight goals in Whitby, while Szabo and MacGregor had five each. Rounding out the championship squad were Grffin Belanger, Andrew Cascagnette, Liam Dick, Michael Hasselfeldt, Connor Michailoff and Michael O'Shea. [ýSAVE$20j
