Midget Rep earn spot in OMHA Championships


The Midget Rep's, sponsored by the Team at Shelburne Home Hardware, has earned their way through to the OMHA Championship Finals.
Following on a win at home last Friday night in front of a packed CDRC arena, Shelburne faced a lightning fast South Bruce away on Saturday night for game 4. Shelburne entered the South Bruce arena up one with a 2–1 lead in the semi-final series. With less than two minutes into the game, Isaac Fazackerley split the defense and scored on a break-away giving Shelburne an early 1–0 lead. In the second, defenseman Darren Taylor added another with a blistering bullet from the blue line and the team hung on to defend that 2–0 lead right through the third – and clinching their spot in the OMHA Championship Finals!
After the game, coaching member Dave Ritchie said “a lot of credit goes to our defense tonight. They were rock-solid and the whole team feeds off the confidence of their goalie Eric Johnson who played yet another amazing game”. Added Scott Holmes, “When we come out to play, we're a tough team to beat. Our forwards understand what their job is on the ice and when we move the puck well and they stick to their roles, we get the chances we need to put the puck in the net”.
SMHA Vice President Chris Reed said the Association is already planning to make the championship round as exciting as they can. “We're looking to fill our stands and make this series as exciting as we can for our players and our home town crowd and we have some special things in store!” Amy Green, OMHA Director for SMHA said, “The run for an OMHA Championship is a rare and special occurrence in any centre and we're very proud of our boys in making it this far”. Amy is currently working on scheduling the final round.
