However, the team bonded tightly together and found a way to support one another in moments of need. True credit goes to the players and their families for showing resiliency and humility throughout the first week of play. <\/p>\n<p>Game One ended in a closely-played 2-2 tie with the host team, the Orangeville Flyers. Game 2 featured a strong effort by the Tigers against the Barrie Colts, as the back and forth affair ended with an exciting third period and a full-effort Tigers win, 2-1. In Game 3, the defence stepped up and delivered a strong performance, helping the Tigers to a 6-1 win over Georgina. Game 4 featured a shutout performance, as the team emerged victorious in the semi-final game against Centre Wellington, 4-0. Game 5, the championship game, featured the Tigers vs. the Orangeville Flyers. <\/p>\n<p>In what was another strong team performance, the Tiger offence\/defence played hard and was supported by solid goaltending, leading to a championship game victory, 3-1.<\/p>\n<p>In the span of 48 hours, the Tigers played five games, never once lacking in effort, focus, or teamwork. The early bird championship is a nice start for the team, and speaking of team, every active roster player has already scored a point this season.  <\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button
