We total the points earned by all the teams and the winning association gets to hang their jersey in the head office of the losing association for the year. It\u2019s a fun weekend.&nbsp; Beyond the good-natured rivalry and spirit of competition, the more important purpose is to raise money for Covenant House. Half the proceeds of our 50\/50 draw are donated to Covenant House to help homeless youth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the opening ceremonies, featuring a slate of dignitaries from both hockey associations and a ceremonial puck drop presided over by Mayor Tom Mrakas, the young Tigers and Renegades\u2019 spirited tilt added another chapter to the storied historical rivalry between Aurora and Newmarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tigers\u2019 goaltender Caiden Gnanapragasam made a big save to open the entertaining contest when he thwarted a clear-cut breakaway created by a botched line change by Aurora.&nbsp; However, the red-jerseyed Renegades took a 1-0 lead when Nolan Kimla fired a high shot that fluttered under the crossbar three minutes into the first period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Renegades kept the Tigers hemmed in the own end for most of the opening frame, the white-clad home side managed to sustain pressure on the visitors and only a pair of spectacular saves by Newmarket netminder Camden Leblanc kept Aurora scoreless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remarkably, the Tigers got on the scoreboard while killing a penalty when Butler banged home the tying goal from the slot as the Renegades\u2019 power play seemed discombobulated by Aurora\u2019s PK pressure. The teams took their 1-1 tie into the first intermission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first minute of the middle frame, Butler stickhandled through three Renegades with a brilliant individual effort, and slid the puck past Leblanc to give Aurora their first lead of the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renegades\u2019 forward Michael Bellissimo banged home a rebound past Gnanapragasam at 12:41 to pull Newmarket into a 2-2 tie, but Maynard took a nice centering pass at 8:54 and buried the biscuit to restore Aurora\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 40.3 seconds left in the second period, Aurora forward Daniel Tropiano rifled a wrist shot past Leblanc and just under the crossbar to give the Tigers a two-goal cushion heading into the third period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two minutes into the final frame, Maynard tallied his second goal of the game from a goal mouth scramble to provide Aurora\u2019s margin of victory in front of over 150 clamouring fans at the ACC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Jim Stewart<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35306&amp;t=Butler%20and%20Maynard%20tally%20two%20goals%20each%20in%20U12%20Tigers%E2%80%99%205-2%20win%20over%20Newmarket%20Renegades%20in%20%E2%80%9CBattle%20of%20Yonge%20Street%E2%80%9D&amp;s=100&amp;p[url]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35306&amp;p[images][0]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F10%2F2024-10-31-01.jpg&amp;p[title]=Butler%20and%20Maynard%20tally%20two%20goals%20each%20in%20U12%20Tigers%E2%80%99%205-2%20win%20over%20Newmarket%20Renegades%20in%20%E2%80%9CBattle%20of%20Yonge%20Street%E2%80%9D\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35306&amp;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Butler%20and%20Maynard%20tally%20two%20goals%20each%20in%20U12%20Tigers%E2%80%99%205-2%20win%20over%20Newmarket%20Renegades%20in%20%E2%80%9CBattle%20of%20Yonge%20Street%E2%80%9D&amp;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35306\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaelen Butler and John Maynard tallied two goals each to lead the U12 Aurora Tigers to a convincing 5-2 win over the Newmarket Renegades in \u201cThe Battle of Yonge Street\u201d on Saturday afternoon at the ACC.
