\nIt was a repeat performance in St. Andrew\u2019s College\u2019s premiere hockey tournament.
\nFor the second year in a row, the Saints varsity squad met the Northwood School Huskies in the championship game of the MacPherson tournament, held at St. Andrew\u2019s annually since 1984.
\nScoring a total of 23 goals in their first four contests, a tournament high, the Saints were held to just one goal in a 6 \u2013 1 loss to Northwood at La Brier Arena on Sunday.
\nMathew MacDougall had the only goal for the Saints late in the second period.
\nFour unanswered goals by the Huskies in the third period were the Saints eventual undoing.
\n\u201cIt was a disappointing end to a fantastic weekend for our school community,\u201d said David Manning, head coach. \u201cNorthwood is an outstanding team and a worthy winner this time around. As always, we will push our players to pick themselves up and look to get better this week in preparation for Upper Canada College on Wednesday.\u201d
\nOne of the top prep hockey programs in the country, the Saints have not disappointed this season in the independent CISAA league. They bring a record of 7-0-1 into their matchup with Upper Canada.
\nFor the MacPherson, Sunday\u2019s championship game marked the eighth straight year that the Saints program has won either gold, silver, or bronze in their home tournament.
\nIn its 34-year history, St. Andrew\u2019s has won the tournament a record nine times, last raising the trophy in 2014.
\n\u201cAs a coach, player, and avid fan, I always look forward to watching the fast-paced and competitive games in this tournament,\u201d said Kevin McHenry, Headmaster.
\nThe Saints opened the tournament on a tear, outscoring both Appleby College and the Under-18 Elite Pittsburgh Penguins by a combined score of 20 \u2013 1. They were brought down to earth by Edge School on Saturday afternoon, shut out 2 \u2013 0, before earning a berth in the final by besting Upper Canada College 3 \u2013 1.
\nThe tradition of naming a tournament All-Star team had two Saints land on the roster, in junior Cam Hillis and senior Morgan Baron. Hillis was named an all-star forward, while Baron, team captain, earned the Robin Fraser plaque for sportsmanship.
\nDrawing from over a dozen countries throughout its history, this year\u2019s incarnation of the MacPherson tournament hosted teams from Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, Maine, Pennsylvania, and New York.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
