With a series against the rival Newmarket Redmen looming, the Minor Peewee A Tigers picked up an extra boost of confidence at just the right time.<\/p>\n

They came away the champions at the Toronto Aeros\u2019 annual \u201cWinter Challenge\u201d tournament, held last weekend. <\/p>\n

A 2 \u2013 2 tie with the Fox Valley Cyclones of Chicago would prove to be the only falter in the Tigers\u2019 system, handily shutting out the Toronto Shamrocks 3 \u2013 0 later the same afternoon.<\/p>\n

An 8 \u2013 1 win over the Sudbury Wolves and a 6 \u2013 0 shutout of the Don Mills Mustangs followed, leaving Aurora as the top seed out of round robin play.<\/p>\n

A more confident Tigers squad entered the semifinal rematch with the Cyclones, earning a 5 \u2013 1 victory early Sunday morning to send Aurora to the championship game.<\/p>\n

There they met the West Hill Golden Hawks, winning 3 \u2013 1 for their first tournament title in four tries this season.<\/p>\n

The win came as a fitting closure for a season-opening wound, when Aurora lost 3 \u2013 2 in a tournament championship in Toronto early in the season.<\/p>\n

Six games over three days put a toll on the Tigers\u2019 roster, never playing with a full bench. Despite this fact, the position juggling seemed to work as Aurora put up 25 goals-for in the tournament, surrendering only four against.<\/p>\n

With one of their preseason goals now under their belt, the Tigers have turned to the York Region playoffs in a five-game series with the Redmen. Aurora took an early lead with a 5 \u2013 2 win in Game 1 earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The next game is Friday at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex. Puck drop is set for 7:45p.m.<\/p>\n

The Tigers finished the regular season with an impressive 31-9-9 record in early January.<\/p>\n
