I S H O O T , S C O R E & S A V E O N O U R | PRACTICE PADS The Oakville Rangers triple-A minor peewee rep team won the silver medal at the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Tournament of Champions. Silver The Oakville Rangers minor peewee triple-A team, sponsored by Polywheels, traveled to Windsor over the Easter Weekend for the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) Tournament of Champions. And there was a feeling of deja vu. Like last year they didn't strike gold, but their was a silver lining. Literally. Not only did they bring home the silver medal but the combatants in Windsor were exactly the same as last year. Besides Oakville, there was the Peterborough Petes, Richmond Hill Stars, St. Catharines and the reigning OMHA and Ontario Hockey Federation (OHA) champion Sun County from host Windsor. For the 1999 Tournament of Champions, the OMHA instituted a new medal format, with the top two teams in the round robin squaring off for gold and the next two battling for bronze. In the gold medal game, Oakville couldn't recover from a slow start in which they were down 3-0 before the second period was five minutes old. Lining The Rangers started pressing relentlessly at that point, but they could only muster one goal past a hot goalie to end the OMHA champi­ onship game with a 3-1 loss. Nick Prescott scored the goal from Tyler Donati and Daniel Ringwald. In the bronze medal match, the Peterborough Petes downed St. Catharines 5-4 in overtime. The Rangers earned their place in the gold medal match with three wins in the preliminary round against only one loss. Oakville opened with a 5-2 deci­ sion over Peterborough. Single mark­ ers were scored by Nick Davis, Brett Lain, Nick Dodge, Jeff Nabeta and Tyler Donati. Assists went to Justin Donati (2), Michael Gomes, Davis and Lain. In their second game, a rousing comeback went for naught as the Rangers dropped a 4-3 decision to Richmond Hill. The Rangers spotted Richmond Hill a 3-0 lead before coming back to tie it up at 3-3 early in the third period. Richmond Hill, however, potted the winner with 1:27 * remaining. Goals were scored by Nick Prescott, Nick Dodge and ! Justin Donati. Assists went to Brafl McKenzie (2), Ben Heersink, Geoff Pearce and Tyler Donati. That left the Rangers a daunt­ ing task on the second day of besting both the 1998 OHF and OMHA champi­ on Sun County and the 1997 OMHA champi­ on St. Catharines. And thanks to stellar netmind- ing from their dynamic duo, Jonathan Allen and Chris Rowan, the Rangers did it, 4-1 and 4-2, respectively. In the 4-1 win over host Sun (S ee 'Rangers' pg.
