Iroquois Midgets take Silver at Canadian National Championship

The 2011 Canadian National Championship Games were held August 1-6, 2011 in Whitby, Ontario.  After placing second over all in round robin play the Iroquois Midget team played British Columbia (3rd place) Friday morning (August 5) to see who would move onto the “A” Gold Championship game.

Iroquois came out winning 7-4 advancing them to the “A” Gold Championship game against Ontario.  Saturday morning these two teams battled for the Championship title, scoring one after another leaving everyone in the audience on the edge of their seats.
