The Aurora Tyke A Tigers were victorious in their first ever tournament, taking the Bradford Blue & Gold Classic Tyke Select II Championship” December 5 through 7.

The Tigers kicked their championship run off with a decisive 5-0 win over the Unionville Jets Friday morning in New Tecumseth. The team refueled, then headed to Tottenham for an afternoon game against the Warren Park Eagles from downtown Toronto. The teams battled to a 3-3 draw heading to the final Round-Robin game Saturday morning, which would be key in determining the Championship competitors. The Tigers brought a great team game to the rink, earning a 3-0 win over the Kitchener Mighty Ducks to seal their place in the Tournament Final where they would once again face their foes from Warren Park.

Aurora came ready to play for a very early start time at the Nottawasaga Centre Ice Sportsplex in Alliston.

The Tigers charged out of the gate and got on the board first, but the Eagles answered to even the score at 1-1. The Tigers were determined to capture their first tournament and with a full team effort put up four unanswered goals to clinch the title by a 5-1 final score.
