S E L E C T C O M P A N Y Blades gashed for 11 goals in Buffalo The Oakville Blades surrendered the final nine goals of the game in their 11-2 loss to the Buffalo Jr. Sabres Tuesday in Buffalo. Dalton Bew and Ross Sloan scored goals in the first period for the Blades, with Sloan's marker tying the game 2-2 midway through the frame, before Buffalo dominated the rest of the way. The loss dropped the Blades (20-23-4) to 1-7-2 in their last 10 games as they battle with the Mississauga Chargers and Toronto Jr. Canadiens for the final two playoff spots in the Provincial Junior Hockey League's South/West Conference. The three teams remained tied with 44 points apiece going into last night's (Wednesday's) action. Toronto had five games remaining on its regular-season schedule, Oakville had six and Mississauga had seven. The Blades will be home to the South Division-leading Toronto Lakeshore Patriots Friday (7:30 p.m., Sixteen Mile Sports Complex), then visit the Patriots Saturday. 17 | Thursday, February 6, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The Oakville peewee St. Hilda's Eagles house league hockey team allowed just two goals in five games to easily win the championship at the Chedoke Select Christmas Tournament earlier this season.

"Samuel was an inspiration to my whole family and our Ghanaian community in Toronto. He was my mother's everything," Osei remembers. After much soul searching, an inconsolable Osei decided to follow her brother's wishes. "If it wasn't for my brother pushing me and helping me with the application process, I wouldn't be back in school at all. I don't know where I'd be." Although most of them barely knew her, Falco, Laurier's coach, brought the Hawks, including her long-lost friend Bonsu, to her brother's wake. At that moment, with tears welling in her eyes, Osei knew she had made the right decision. "Laurier is more than a school to me," Osei, 23, says now. "It has become an extension of my family. "Whenever I wear the Laurier jersey, I am playing for my brother as well as the program. "Whenever I study for a test or exam, it's because I want my mom to know I can be successful in school just like Samuel." With a better than 80 per cent average, Osei is an academic All-Canadian at school these days. Doreen and Afua visited Lee Anna and her mom, too, after Samuel's passing. They offered words of encouragement. Not only should Lee Anna attend Laurier, but she should play basketball to help heal some of her emotional wounds. And that's pretty much the way things have played out. "We are more than best friends," says Bonsu. "We are sisters."
