By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n

A late third period goal on Sunday at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex has the Minor Midget AA Tigers back in York-Simcoe contention.<\/p>\n

The Tigers opened the YSMHL final series with the Whitchurch-Stouffville Clippers on Friday, edged out 4 \u2013 2 on the road. The first-to-six-points series moved to the SARC for Game 2, an afternoon game that drew a big crowd for both sides.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for the Tigers to strike.<\/p>\n

Less than a minute in and already on the powerplay, Matthew Ferry made a nice move to wait out the Clippers goaltender while coming out from the side of the net to make it 1 \u2013 0.<\/p>\n

That score would hold up for more than two periods, despite multiple two-man advantages for the Tigers. At the other end, John Hopkinson kept the Clippers at bay with some solid rebound control.<\/p>\n

With nine minutes to go and the Tigers unable to clear the puck from their zone, he was finally beaten while on his back during a scramble in front of the net.<\/p>\n

Peter Chimienti thought he took the lead for Aurora on the very next shift, taking a couple whacks at the puck, but with a referee\u2019s conference deciding the puck never crossed the line.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t mean much in the end, however, as the game winner came off the stick of Parker Boland with five minutes to go, a one-timer from the slot for the 2 \u2013 1 victory.<\/p>\n

With the series now tied at two points apiece, the Tigers return to Stouffville for Game 3. Game 4 will be played Thursday at 7:55p.m. at the SARC, while if necessary, Game 5 will head back to Stouffville on Saturday.<\/p>\n
