When it comes to minor hockey, Aurora can claim bragging rights over nearby Newmarket as kings of the ice.
\nThe Aurora Minor Hockey Association decisively won the eleventh annual Battle of Yonge Street, a weekend that sees close to fifty Tigers teams battle their Redmen counterparts.
\nA home-and-home showdown of rep teams took place between the Aurora Community Centre and Magna Centre, with the Tigers coming out on top 25 \u2013 14 with nine ties.
\nIt was a comeback year for the Tigers following a close battle in 2015, when the Redmen earned the victory only after the late Midget games on the Sunday evening.
\nIn 2016, it was a decisive Sunday that led to Aurora\u2019s win, with the Bantam AE, Minor PeeWee A, Atom A, Minor Atom AA, PeeWee AE, Atom RS, Minor Atom AE, Minor PeeWee AE, PeeWee A, Minor Bantam AA, PeeWee AA, Midget AA, Minor Atom A, PeeWee RS, Minor Bantam A, and Minor Midget A all scoring either ties or wins against the Redmen.
\nOverall, this year\u2019s victory gains the Tigers the lead, with a score of 6 \u2013 5.
\nTradition now dictates that the Newmarket Redmen hang an Aurora Tigers jersey in the head office until next year.
\n\u201cThe association that wins the series is given the honour of having their jersey showcased in the opposing association\u2019s hockey office for the duration of the season,\u201d said Joe Bentolila, AMHA President. \u201cNo extra motivation is needed beyond this.\u201d
\nWhile the battles on ice were of great importance, the money raised in the stands played a significant role, as it does with the AMHA in the home-and-home series each year.
\nWith a variety of vendors in the lobbies, as well as raffle tickets being sold, the AMHA took the York Region Foster Parents Association as the charity of choice this year.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
