The Minor Bantam AA Tigers put on quite a show in front of a home crowd last week, finding success in the Aurora Minor Hockey Association’s (AMHA’s) 46th annual Minor Bantam/Bantam Tournament.

The team opened the tournament against the West Mall Lightning, taking them down 4 – 2 before disposing of the Whitby Wildcats 3 – 1 later that day.
They completed their round-robin matchups with a 7 – 0 victory the next day over the Sudbury Copper Cliff Redman, who they met once again in the semi-finals due to team points.

Aurora continued their shutout streak, and punched their tickets to the finals with a decisive 5 – 0 win.

The finals saw another matchup against Whitby, however this time it was the Wildcats that would hold off the Tigers offensively.
Whitby took the game, and the tournament, 2 – 1.

Meanwhile, the Bantam AA Tigers were shut out in their respective semi-final matchup, 1 – 0, by the Niagara Falls Flyers.
