and Europe battle it out in Buffalo, the future stars were representing their country at home in Aurora.<br \/>\nAn unprecedented display of hockey in Aurora was taken in by hundreds of fans on January 2 at the Aurora Community Centre, when the Aurora Minor Hockey Association welcomed six teams from across Finland and Norway in a one-day exhibition series.<br \/>\nComing from Finland was Jokerit of Helsinki, Tappara of Tampere, and GriFK of Kauniainan, while the Norwegian squad of Furusey reigned from Oslo.<br \/>\nRepresenting the Tigers were the PeeWee AE, Bantam A, Minor PeeWee AA, Minor Bantam A, Minor Bantam AA, and Bantam AA squads.<br \/>\nThe sides split the games at three wins apiece, the icing on the cake of a friendly day of competition.<\/p>\n<a
